Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.

Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.

Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.

I hope to live all my life for my art, without abandoning my principles one iota.

Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.

Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.

Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

A picture is a poem without words.

Architects today tend to depreciate themselves, to regard themselves as no more than just ordinary citizens without the power to reform the future.

Life is all about balance, and there are certain times of the year - birthday, anniversary, holidays - that are meant to be enjoyed without guilt. That being said, Thanksgiving is a meal - it's not a Thanksgiving day, and it's not a Thanksgiving week.

My mother and father had a terrible marriage. They celebrated their wedding anniversary one year with their friends. Why did they celebrate? Maybe because they had lasted so many years without killing each other.

The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

Literature is always about bygone times. It's always looking back in time with a certain perspective. I look at bygone life which no longer exists, and as I said, I look at it without nostalgia but without anger, either. I look at it with criticism and with compassion. I look at it with curiosity.

The MMA stuff has been really good, I'm enjoying that. To be able to work with Jay Glazer, he's a total meathead, he loves all that stuff. I hit him as hard as I can and he's like 'Yeah!' It's been fun for me to release that anger without putting pads on.

It's so rare to see a woman lose control and also gain it back. Women are always told, 'Oh, be in control of your feelings,' and a woman is never allowed to express her anger without being demonised as being PMS-y.

There's a certain time that when somebody asks you a question, you answer them. I don't think I said anything with venom. If you can express yourself without anger and make it as palatable as you can, that's what you do.

Every now and then, when I think about it, I think, 'What would I even talk about onstage?' It's never been, 'I wonder if I'm funny. I wonder if I can come up with jokes.' It's more, 'What would it be like without the leather suit and the anger?'

When I played a club in Salt Lake City, I complained to the crowd about the low turnout. It's always good to berate the people who paid to see you because you're upset about the people who didn't show up. It's called misplaced anger, and without it, I wouldn't have an act.

I want roles without anger and feistiness. I want to show weakness and sadness, some love, some happiness.
