"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things." ― Henry Ward Beecher Topic(s): Art Tags: being, happy More From Henry Ward Beecher "Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven." "Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into." "I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note – torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one." More In Art "I think that one’s art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows."― Emily Carr "Film is a very young art that is still evolving. Soon, we shall reach a balance between content and technology."― Catherine Deneuve "There was a big drive when I was at art school to make you aware of the economy of meaning – after all, this was still during the tail end of minimalism. Being responsible for everything you put in your picture, and being able to defend it. Keeping everything clear around you so you know what is operating. To open the wound and keep it clean."― Jane Campion
