I thought of Paris as a beauty spot on the face of the earth and of London as a big freckle.

No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure for no man lives on earth who is endowed with the whole of beauty.

I love the game it's the greatest game on earth that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.

If we do not permit the earth to produce beauty and joy it will in the end not produce food either.

Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.

'Beauty is truth truth beauty ' - that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.

If you're looking for can-do earthy-crunchy attitude then you've got to go to Wisconsin.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

I choose films for their artistic value. I don't need a mansion or a Jaguar. When I leave this Earth I won't take any money with me. All I will leave behind will be my art.

Thou art my single day God lends to leaven What were all earth else with a feel of heaven.

Music is God's gift to man the only art of Heaven given to earth the only art of earth we take to Heaven.

Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall.

A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.

Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book If art doesn't make us better then what on earth is it for.

People are surprised at how down-to-earth I am. I like to stay home on Friday nights and listen to 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama.

What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!

I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth thou art not my abyss!

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky from the earth from a scrap of paper from a passing shape from a spider's web.

After World War II great strides were made in modern Japanese architecture not only in advanced technology allowing earthquake resistant tall buildings but expressing and infusing characteristics of traditional Japanese architecture in modern buildings.

You can just drift unhappily towards this vision of heaven on earth and ultimately that is what architecture is a vision of: Heaven on earth at it's best.

Of all the planets apart from Earth in our solar system Mars is the most hospitable. Yeah. Right. Better keep my visit short. And yet despite the discomfort the danger I love it here. I love coming back for these imaginary vacations. The sights are amazing.

I'm very concerned for the future of the earth and its amazing creatures. We've got to be careful and make sure we don't foul our own nest.

Ever consider what pets must think of us? I mean here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul - chicken pork half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!
