More From Marc Chagall
- "When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it – a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand – as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it’s bad art."
- "Work isn’t to make money; you work to justify life."
- "I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment."
More In War
- "I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell."― William Tecumseh Sherman
- "The Pentagon still has not given a name to the Iraqi war. Somehow ‘Operation Re-elect Bush’ doesn’t seem to be popular."― Jay Leno
- "One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda."― Douglas MacArthur
