Side Branch

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or branch:

    When you were a tadpole and I was a fish
    In the Paleozoic time,
    And side by side, on the ebbing tide,
    We sprawled through the ooze and slime,
    Or skittered with many a caudal flip
    Through the depths of the Cambrian fen,
    My heart was rife with the joy of life,
    For I loved you even then.
    Langdon Smith (1858–1908)

    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)
