  • Expression Quote #1

    ..her smile, which was her pretty feature, was never so pretty as when her sprightly phrase had a scratch lurking in it.

    Henry James

  • Expression Quote #2

    Francis Galton, whose mission it seems to be to ride other men's hobbies to death, has invented the felicitous expression 'structureless germs'.

    James Clerk Maxwell
  • Expression Quote #3

    Shakespeare was not a scholar in the sense we regard the term to-day, yet no man ever lived or probably ever will live that equalled or will equal him in the expression of thought. He simply read the book of nature and interpreted it from the standpoint of his own magnificent genius.

    Joseph Devlin
  • Expression Quote #4

    [S]he stood for some moments gazing at the sisters, with affection beaming in one eye, and calculation shining out of the other.

    Charles Dickens
  • Expression Quote #5

    {Miller, who was president of American Federation of Musicians, had this to say about Robert Ingersoll at his funeral}

    On behalf of 15,000 professional musicians, comprising the American Federation of Musicians, permit me to extend to you our heart-felt and most sincere sympathy in the irreparable loss of the model husband, father, and friend. In him the musicians of not only this country, but of all countries, have lost one whose noble nature grasped the true beauties of our sublime art, and whose intelligence gave those impressions expression in words of glowing eloquence that will live as long as language exists.

    Owen Miller
  • Expression Quote #6

    A fuller expression of Self comes from the journey for greater wholeness.

    Kathryn V. White
  • Expression Quote #7

    A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is thereby a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.

    Ansel Adams
  • Expression Quote #8

    A lonely impulse of delight

    W.B. Yeats
  • Expression Quote #9

    A Moment, however small, defines an expression.

    Sagar Gosavi
  • Expression Quote #10

    A recurrent question about photography is how much self expression it allows the photographer. There are two standard positions, each corresponding to a different location oh photographic skill. The opposition is neatly summed up in Bioy Casares’s novel The Adventures of a Photographer in La Plata (1989). The hero Nicolasito Almanza declares: ‘I am convinced that all of photography depends on the moment we press the release […] I believe that you’re a photographer if you know exactly when to press the release.’ In making this declaration he is responding to the opinion expressed by Mr Gruter, owner of a photographic laboratory: ‘[…] sometimes I wonder if the true work of the photographer doesn’t begin in the dark room, amid the trays and the enlarger.

    Clive Scott
  • Expression Quote #11

    A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren't quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them.

    Criss Jami
  • Expression Quote #12

    Aesthetical expression of calmness and contentment glow on our face after burning ego into ashes

    Kishore Bansal
  • Expression Quote #13

    Against the censurers of brevity. - Something said briefly can be the fruit of much long thought: but the reader who is a novice in this field, and has as yet reflected on it not at all, sees in everything said briefly something embryonic, not without censuring the author for having served him up such immature and unripened fare.

    Friedrich Nietzsche
  • Expression Quote #14

    All power lies in free expression.

    Krishna Sagar
  • Expression Quote #15

    An imperfect creative expression is much more sensible and creative than a grammatically perfect expression without an iota of sense and value in it.

    Michael Bassey Johnson
  • Expression Quote #16

    And it is silly how all the should've been, could've been and might've been hypothetical situations can bother you more than all the wrong that has already been!

    Moulika Danak
  • Expression Quote #17

    And the strange thing was he had never loved her more than in that moment, because at that moment she had become himself.

    But thats not love, he thought, thats not what she wants, not what any of them want, they do not want you to find yourself in them, they want instead that you should lose yourself in them. And yet, he thought, they are always trying to find themselves in you. [...]

    And it seemed to him then that every human was always looking for himself, in bars, in railway trains, in offices, in mirrors, in love, especially in love, for the self of him that is there, someplace, in every other human. Love was not to give oneself, but find oneself, describe oneself. And that the whole conception had been written wrong. Because the only part of any man that he can ever touch or understand is that part of himself he recognises in him. And that he is always looking for the way in which he can expose his sealed bee cell and reach the other airtight cells with which he is connected in the waxy comb.

    And the only way he had ever found, the only code, the only language by which he could speak and be heard by other men, could communicate himself, was with a bugle. If you had a bugle here, he told himself, you could speak to her and be understood, you could play Fatigue Call for her, with its tiredness, its heavy belly going out to sweep somebody else's streets when it would rather stay home and sleep, she would understand it then.

    But you havent got a bugle, himself said, not here nor any other place. Your tongue has been ripped out. All you got is two bottles, one nearly full, one nearly empty.

    James Jones
  • Expression Quote #18

    Any local music scene at any point in time can be referred to as derivative of more well-known acts. The line separating influence from imitation is a blurry one. Very few artists are completely original; even great artists build upon what has occurred before, and add their personality and talent to create their own original expression.

    Stephen Tow
  • Expression Quote #19

    Anyone that says his mind will be probably regarded a fool, but the true artist is not moved by the comments about the looks of his painting or remarks that are dreadfully sarcastic, but hearken now! That he who says what others want to hear hasn't said anything of his own.

    Michael Bassey Johnson
  • Expression Quote #20

    Are you speaking your mind or expressing your feelings?

    Ramana Pemmaraju
  • Expression Quote #21

    Art becomes an honest expression once done for oneself. Failure of that results to empty and transparent art.

    Unarine Ramaru
  • Expression Quote #22

    Art is by nature aristocratic, and naturally selective in its effect on the audience. For even in its 'collective' manifestations, like theatre or cinema, its effect is bound up with the intimate emotions of each person who comes into contact with a work. The more the individual is traumatised and gripped by these emotions, the more significant a place will the work have in his experience.

    The aristocratic nature of art, however does not in any way absolve the artist of his responsibility to his public and even, if you like, more broadly, to people in general. On the contrary, because of his special awareness of his time and of the world in which he lives, the artist becomes the voice of those who cannot formulate or express their view of reality. In that sense the artist is indeed vox populi. That is why he is called to serve his own talent, which means serving his people.

    Andrei Tarkovsky
  • Expression Quote #23

    Art is just an expression. An expression isn't the same as an act, as much as it sometimes feels that way.

    Colleen Hoover
  • Expression Quote #24

    Art is nothing but the expression of our dream; the more we surrender to it the closer we get to the inner truth of things, our dream-life, the true life that scorns questions and does not see them.

    Franz Marc
  • Expression Quote #25

    Art is the expression of appreciation of beauty real or imagined. It's also an examination of what it means to be alive with all its varied things, emotions, and experiences. We are forever trying to explain ourselves to the world or the world to ourselves.

    Jay Woodman
  • Expression Quote #26

    Artistry exists in everyone. What makes it blossom is a soul's personal desire to find an outlet for expression.

    Richelle E. Goodrich
  • Expression Quote #27

    As a poet there is something about joy I find hard to express, whereas every other emotion is rather simple. For instance, you never feel so bad that you can't describe how bad you feel, but joy on the other hand is far too divine for human language.

    Criss Jami
  • Expression Quote #28

    As she looked at him, her dark gray eyes went slowly from astonishment to stillness, then to a strange expression that resembled a look of weariness, except that it seemed to reflect much more than the endurance of this one moment.

    Ayn Rand
  • Expression Quote #29

    At the limit it could be said that every speaking being has a personal language of his own, that is his own particular way of thinking and feeling. Culture, at its various levels, unifies in a series of strata, to the extent that they come into contact with each other, a greater or lesser number of individuals who understand each other's mode of expression to varying degrees, etc.

    Antonio Gramsci
  • Expression Quote #30

    Be the best you even when it's not the best day to be you

    Constance Chuks Friday
