"The Peace of Wild ThingsWhen despair for the world grows in meand I wake in the night at the least soundin fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,I go and lie down where the wood drakerests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.I come into the peace of wild thingswho do not tax their lives with forethoughtof grief. I come into the presence of still water.And I feel above me the day-blind starswaiting with their light. For a timeI rest in the grace of the world, and am free."

"Steam rising underneath a canopy of whispering, changing aspens; starlight in the clear, dark night, and wondrous beauty in every direction. If only all could feel this way, to be so captured and enthralled with autumn."

"It was still twilight when they reached the flat rock. They sat, and the stone still held the warmth of the day's sun. At first there were only occasional sparkles, but as it got darker Chuck was lost in a daze pf delight as a galaxy of fireflies twinkled on and off, flinging upward in a blaze of light, dropping earthward like falling stars, moving in contiuous effervescent dance."

"As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does."
Work
"Since the model he so faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture... it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model."
Interest
"The model should only serve the very private function for the painter of providing the starting point for his excitement."
Art
"My work is purely autobiographical... It is about myself and my surroundings."
Work
"A painter must think of everything he sees as being there entirely for his own use and pleasure."
Being
"Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid."
Want
"Now that I know what I want, I don't have to hold on to it quite so much."
Now
"I paint people not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be."
People
"I would wish my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having a look of the sitter, being them."
People
"I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult. I'm only trying to do what I can't do."
