Famous quotes containing the words finishing and/or order:
“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 kind of 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 is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
“It’s a fine thing to rise above pride, but you must have pride in order to do so.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
