For having lived long I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration to change opinions even on important subjects which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.
Opinions are made to be changed - or how is truth to be got at?
There are two kinds of fools: those who can't change their opinions and those who won't.
What if I couldn't handle people's opinions of me? I know that shouldn't dictate a person's degree of peace or happiness in life but the problem is I chose a business saturated in judgment.
Contrary to popular opinion the hustle is not a new dance step - it is an old business procedure.
Every Body has so good an Opinion of their own Understanding as to think their own way the best.
Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.
Stubborn and ardent clinging to one's opinion is the best proof of stupidity.
It is not best that we should all think alike it is a difference of opinion that makes horse races.
I remember reminding myself that beauty is an opinion not a fact. And it has always made me feel better.
Everyone has their own insecurities regardless of how you look or how people perceive you but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body.
There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment but they're all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion.
It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible uninformed.
We're all entitled to opinions about how art institutions should behave and entitled to voicing those opinions through whatever means available to us. We're also allowed to change or modify our opinions.
Everyone goes to the same exhibitions and the same parties stays in the same handful of hotels eats at the same no-star restaurants and has almost the same opinions. I adore the art world but this is copycat behavior in a sphere that prides itself on independent thinking.
Yes 85 percent of the art you see isn't any good. But everyone has a different opinion about which 85 percent is bad. That in turn creates fantastically unstable interplay and argument.
Contrary to popular opinion things don't go stale particularly fast in the art world.
Poor Georgia O'Keeffe. Death didn't soften the opinions of the art world toward her paintings.
Works of art in my opinion are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order and that is why though I don't believe that only art matters I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work and for the work I might be capable of.
All those who offer an opinion on any doubtful point should first clear their minds of every sentiment of dislike friendship anger or pity.
James Franco has this interesting and relaxed look. It's pretty 'I don't care ' but it still looks good. Ryan Gosling also has amazing style. I take a lot of my fashion tips from those two. In my opinion they're the ones getting it right.
It's amazing how everyone has an opinion on how you should live your life.
The best rules to form a young man are to talk little to hear much to reflect alone upon what has passed in company to distrust one's own opinions and value others that deserve it.
