Many of the poets I most admire have a way of embodying their peculiar obsessions via landscape that can sometimes seem magical.
Every man loves and admires his own country because it produced him.
I paint German artists whom I admire. I paint their pictures, their work as painters, and their portraits too. But oddly enough, each of these portraits ends up as a picture of a woman with blonde hair. I myself have never been able to work out why this happens.
People don't really have a relationship with great writing or great production or great art direction or great direction. They just sort of admire it.
I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admire photography, but I wouldn't go to it out of hunger.
Music, the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we have below. Music can noble hints impart, Engender fury, kindle love; 40 With unsuspected eloquence can move, And manage all the man with secret art. When Orpheus strikes the trembling lyre The streams stand still, the stones admire; The listening savages advance, The world and lamb around him trip The bears in aukward measures leap, And tigers mingle in the dance The moving woods attended as he played And Rhodope was left without a shade.
The rice grain suffers under the blow of the pestle. But admire its whiteness once the order is over. So it is with men and the world we live in. To be a man one must suffer the blows of misfortune.
I'm usually nervous to meet people that I admire because what if they're not cool or something?
A man fishes for two reasons: he’s either sport fishing or fishing to eat, which means he’s either going to try to catch the biggest fish he can, take a picture of it, admire it with his buddies and toss it back to sea, or he’s going to take that fish on home, scale it, fillet it, toss it in some cornmeal, fry it up, and put it on his plate. This, I think, is a great analogy for how men seek out women.
I really admire Werner Herzog and Spike Lee. They're amazing documentarians. If you took away all the narratives, they'd just be amazing documentarians.
There are some people who become best friends with everyone they photograph. There are people that I really like and admire and respect, but in a way I think it's better to keep a distance. I think you get better pictures of people that you don't know very well.
We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word 'admire' then means 'marvel at. '
Admire? No, I have never said that. I still appreciate Angela Merkel as a very professional and open person.
I admire traveling; I appreciate it a lot.
What I like about teaching is the discipline of finding words to unpack the artistic process. And I admire the drive in students who want to write, the mystery of how artistic talent unfolds.
I love academics, theory and all that. I love and admire that and try to do as much reading as I can.
We worry so much about what people think of us and so we often don't stand up for what we believe in. And some people literally give their life for what they believe in. As a Christian, that is something I really admire. I want to be a part of spreading that message.
It is often pleasant to stone a martyr, no matter how much we may admire him.
Saints are what they are not because their sanctity makes them admirable to others, but because the gift of sainthood makes it possible for them to admire everyone else.
To admire nothing, (as most are wont to do;) Is the only method that I know, To make men happy, and to keep them so.
