Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.”
    —Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)

    “When I was going through my transition of being famous, I tried to ask God why was I here? what was my purpose? Surely, it wasn’t just to win three gold medals. There has to be more to this life than that.”
    —Wilma Rudolph (1940–1994)
