Famous quotes containing the words paint and/or schemes:

    An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
    Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)

    Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.
    James Conant (1893–1978)
