[David] Salle's earlier work had been marked by a kind of spaciousness, sometimes an emptiness, such as surrealist works are prone to. But here everything was condensed, impacted, mired. The paintings were like an ugly mood.

Das Geheimnis der Liebe ist größer als das Geheimnis des Todes.

Deal resistance a death blow and make sweet love to your art all night long. Put on your fishnet thigh highs and your patent leather stilettos and your special occasion lingerie. Seduce the hell out of your own creative soul. It’s time for an epic lap dance. Dance for your paint and canvas, for fingers tripping across keyboard, for the open arms of motherhood, for the layers of flavor in the meals you create. Wind your hips down for the click of the shutter, for the 3 a.m. bathroom poem, for the late night lesson planning

Dear Lord please show me what really matters so that I may be able to determine what is distraction and God's direction in my life.

DEAR LIGHT : you colored my life, and then you destroy me!

Death is a thing of beauty, but equally a destroyer of beauty. That is the paradox that we are left with.

Decoration is primarily concerned with superficialities—i.e. changing the surface of a thing, and not its substance—and must therefore occupy its own space separate from art...

Deep inside, we are all artists who can't find the crayons that were given to us in playschool.

Deep, fluting emotions were a form of weakness. She'd seen the softening in her work over the years, she'd started making the lazy, homey treats like apple crumble, chocolate muffins, butterscotch pudding, and lemon bars. They were fast and cheap and they pleased her children. But she'd trained at one of the best pastry programs in the country. Her teachers were French. She'd learned the classical method of making fondant, of making real buttercream with its spun-candy base and beating the precise fraction off egg into the pate a choux. She knew how to blow sugar into glassine nests and birds and fountains, how to construct seven-tiered wedding cakes draped with sugar curtains copied from the tapestries at Versailles. When the other students interned at the Four Seasons, the French Laundry, and Dean & Deluca, Avis had apprenticed with a botanical illustrator in the department of horticulture at Cornell, learning to steady her hand and eye, to work with the tip of the brush, to dissect and replicate in tinted royal icing and multihued glazes the tiniest pieces of stamen, pistil, and rhizome. She studied Audubon and Redoute. At the end of her apprenticeship, her mentor, who pronounced the work "extraordinary and heartbreaking," arranged an exhibition of Avis's pastries at the school. "Remembering the Lost Country" was a series of cakes decorated in perfectly rendered sugar olive branches, cross sections of figs, and frosting replicas of lemon leaves. Her mother attended and pronounced the effect 'amusant.

Deformity forms an artist.

De instinctieve en vooruitstrevende belangstelling van ieder mens voor kunst zal altijd blijven; zij zal aan verwachtingen voldoen en nieuwe verwachtingen opbouwen, nieuwe horizonnen openen, totdat de dag aanbreekt waarop ieder mens, als hij zijn aardappels rooit, zijn eigen heldendicht, zijn eigen symfonie (of opera als hij daarvan houdt) ademt. En als hij op een avond in zijn achtertuin in hemdsmouwen een pijp zit te rokenen kijkt naar zijn kinderen, hoe zij voor hun plezier hun thema's voor hun sonates van hun leven, dan zal hij uitkijken over de bergen en zijn visioenen verwerkelijkt zien en zal hij de transcendentale tonen van de symfonie van die dag horen wederklinken in vele koren in al hun perfectie, aangedragen over de boomtoppen door de westenwind.

De la quietud nace la inspiración y del movimiento surge la creatividad.

De ningún modo es cierto que la inspiración juegue un papel más importante en la ciencia que en la solución de los problemas prácticos a los que debe enfrentarse un empresario moderno, a pesar de que los científicos ensoberbecidos no lo crean así; del mismo modo que no se puede creer que la idea tiene menos importancia en la ciencia que en las artes, siendo pueril la idea de que un matemático puede arribar a resultados científicos válidos utilizando únicamente una regla de cálculo o cualquier otro aditamento para el mismo fin.

Design came into being in 1919, when Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus at Weimar. Part of the prospectus of this school reads: 'The function of art has in the past been given a formal importance which has severed it from our daily life; but art is always present when a people lives sincerely and health. 'Thus our job is to invest a new system of education that may lead to a complete knowledge of human needs and a universal awareness of them.' [...] What Gropius wrote is still valid. Tis first school of design did tend to make a new kind of artist, an artist useful to society because he helps society to recover its balance, and not to lurch between a false world to live one's material life in and and ideal world to take moral revenge in.

Design is not really a way for me to express myself. Design is a product that we produce for a client.

Deny me pen and ink until you can plug up the wellspring of my art.

Design is a fundamental human activity, relevant and useful to everyone. Anything humans create—be it product, communication or system—is a result of the process of making inspiration real. I believe in doing what works as circumstances change: quirky or unusual solutions are often good ones. Nature bends and so should we as appropriate. Nature is always right outside our door as a reference and touch point. We should use it far more than we do.

Design is one of the few disciplines that is a science as well as an art. Effective, meaningful design requires intellectual, rational rigor along with the ability to elicit emotions and beliefs. Thus, designers must balance both the logic and lyricism of humanity every time they design something, a task that requires a singularly mysterious skill.

Design is an art, creative artist must have a beautiful mind

Desire is an art.

DESPITE THE INVENTION OF TIME MACHINES, WE KEEP BEING LINEAR.

Diguin el que vulguin els pintors actuals, i els crítics, l'essencial del retrat és la semblança: la semblança física. Però també és cert que això —aquesta semblança— solament interessa al model i als seus parents més acostats.

Dirty old hole, isn't it?" "The dirt is picturesque so I don't mind.

Dignity is not a symbol bestowed on man, nor does the word itself possess force. Man's dignity is a force and the only modus vivendi by which man and his history survive. When mid-twentieth century Germany did not let man live and die with this right, man became an animal. No matter how technologically advanced or sophisticated, when man negates this divine right, he not only becomes self-destructive, but castrates his history and poisons our future. This is what 'The Nazi Drawings' are about.

Discovering Distilled Creativity "Amazing how sitting down to listen with no distractions - no tv, no devices, no radio - can enhance your life; the sigh of the wind the only ambient noise. Then, in that still moment, your distilled creativity comes because you feel so connected to the Universe.

Distraction leaches the authenticity out of our communications. When we are not emotionally present, we are gliding over the surface of our interactions and we never tangle in the depths where the nuances of our skills are tested and refined. A medical professor describes the easy familiarity with which her digital-native resident students master medical electronic records—but is troubled by the fact that they enter data with their eyes focused on their digital devices, not on the patient in the room with them. Preoccupation with technology acts as a screen between the student and the patient’s real emotion, real fear, and real concern. It may also prevent these residents from noticing physical symptoms that the patient fails to mention. The easy busyness of medical record entry is a way to sidestep the more challenging dynamics of human connection. But experienced physicians know that interpersonal skills are essential to mastering the art and science of medical diagnosis.

Do not be afraid of the word 'theory'. Yes, it can sound dauntingly abstract at times, and in the hands of some writers can appear to have precious little to do with the actual, visual world around us. Good theory however, is an awesome thing. [...] But unless we actually use it, it borders on the metaphysical and might as well not be used at all.

Do not let reading become a forgotten art

Don't fret my dear. If art is translation of the ephemeral into observable form, then always remember that it is the translationn that is the craft. The craft is that which can always be improved. But the ephemeral is that which only you have been able to observe, and that which only you have chosen to translate, and so in a way, the ephemeral is you, and it is already beautiful.
