More From Philip Guston

Time says hush: by the gong of time you live. listen and you hear time saying you were silent long before you came to life and you will again be silent long after you leave it, why not be a little silent now? hush yourself, noisy little man. time hushes all: the gong of time rang for you to come out of the hush and you were born. the gong of time will ring for you to go back to the same hush you came from. winners and losers, the weak and the strong, those who say little and try to say it well, and those who babble and prattle their lives away, time hushes all.
Life Strong Men
I am inspired by thinkers. i am inspired by rebellion. i am inspired by children. i have been inspired by love. i have been inspired by heartbreak. i try to take everything that comes at me in life. there have been times in my life that i didn't handle things... right. but even though you stumble, you still kind of get through it.
Children Trying Kind
All that stuff about flatness - it's this idea that painting is a specialized discipline and that modernist painting increasingly refers to painting and is refining the laws of painting. but who cares about painting? what we care about is that the planet is heating up, species are disappearing, there's war, and there are beautiful girls here in brooklyn on the avenue and there's food and flowers.
Beautiful Girl War
The painting is always done very much with [the model's] co-operation. the problem with painting a nude, of course, is that it deepens the transaction. you can scrap a painting of someone's face and it imperils the sitter's self-esteem less than scrapping a painting of the whole naked body.
Self Esteem Body Faces
When people start writing songs for award shows, there's a very limited palette you can use. you end up not sounding like you. you end up sounding like somebody else. you end up getting what the record company thinks they can market.
Song Writing Thinking
When i am in a painting, i'm not aware of what i'm doing. it is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that i see what i have been about. i have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. i try to let it come through. it is only when i lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.

Similar Quotes
There is no more compelling motivation to worthwhile endeavor than the knowledge that we are children of god, that god expects us to do something with our lives, and that he will give us help when help is sought.
Motivational Children Giving
We were taught never to give up, never to passively accept fate, but to exhaust every last ounce of will and hope in the face of any challenge.
Giving Up Fate Challenges
If what we need to dream, to move our spirits most deeply and directly toward and through promise, is discounted as a luxury, then we give up the core -- the fountain -- of our power, our womanness; we give up the future of our worlds. (from "poetry is not a luxury")
Dream Giving Up Moving
Nobody gives you an education. if you want one, you have to take it.
