["Sonnenaufgang über karger Landschaft" (2018)]
To
select, combine and concentrate that which is beautiful in nature and
admirable in art is as much the business of the landscape painter in
his line as in the other departments of art. [Joseph Mallord William
Turner]
The
sun is God. [Joseph Mallord William Turner]
["Venedig" (2014)]
You may have heard the world is made up of atoms and molecules, but it's really made up of stories. When you sit with an individual that's been here, you can give quantitative data a qualitative overlay. [Joseph Mallord William Turner]
["Seestrand" (1998)]
The solitude of the sea intensifies the thoughts and the facts of one's experience which seems to lie at the very centre of the world, as the ship which carries one always remains the centre figure of the round horizon. [Joseph Conrad]
The
snotgreen sea. The scrotumtightening sea. [James Joyce]
["Klavierstück XV"]
It
is only when we are no longer fearful that we begin to create.
[Joseph Mallord William Turner]
["Orkan" (1977)]
Consider
the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under
water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath
the loveliest tints of azure. [Herman Melville]
They
say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of
all. [D.H. Lawrence]

If
I could find anything blacker than black, I'd use it. [Joseph Mallord
William Turner]
["Canarias I" (1988)]
So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea. [Virginia Woolf]
Unfathomable
mind, now beacon, now sea. [Samuel Beckett]
["Klavierstück XXVI"]
The
sea, he thought, had treasured its memories deeper than the faithless
land. [F. Scott Fitzgerald]
["Klavierstück XIV"]
My
business is to paint what I see, not what I know is there. [Joseph
Mallord William Turner]
["Canarias II" (1988)]
Time is more complex near the sea than in any other place, for in addition to the circling of the sun and the turning of the seasons, the waves beat out the passage of time on the rocks and the tides rise and fall as a great clepsydra. [John Steinbeck]
["Cefalù" (2000)]
The old man knew he was going far out and he left the smell of the land behind and rowed out into the clean early morning smell of the ocean. [Ernest Hemingway]
["Ive" (2010)]
["Selbstporträt" (1990)]
["Gudrun" (1989)]
Zum
Hoffen gehört Jugend. Zum Erinnern gehört Jugend, aber es gehört
Mut dazu, die Wiederholung zu wollen. Wer nur hoffen will, ist feig;
wer nur erinnern will, ist wollüstig; aber wer die Wiederholung
will, ist ein Mann, und je nachdrücklicher er sie sich klarzumachen
verstanden hat, ein umso tieferer Mensch ist er. Aber wer nicht faßt,
daß das Leben eine Wiederholung ist und daß darin des Lebens
Schönheit besteht, der hat sich selbst gerichtet und verdient nichts
anderes als – was ihm auch widerfahren wird - zugrunde zu gehen;
denn die Hoffnung winkt wie eine Frucht, die nicht sättigt, die
Erinnerung ist ein kümmerliches Zehrgeld, das nicht sättigt; aber
die Wiederholung ist das tägliche Brot, das mit Segen sättigt. Hat
man das Dasein umschifft, dann wird sich zeigen, ob man den Mut hat
zu verstehen, daß das leben eine Wiederholung ist, und die Lust,
sich darauf zu freuen. Wer das Leben nicht umschifft hat, bevor er zu
leben begann, der gelangt niemals dahin, zu leben; wer es umschifft
hat, aber satt geworden ist, der besaß eine schlechte Konstitution;
wer die Wiederholung erwählt hat, der lebt. [Aus: Søren
Aabye Kierkegaard, »Die
Wiederholung«
(1843)]
["Klavierstück XIII"]
For
I say there is no other thing that is worse than the sea is for
breaking a man, even though he may a very strong one. [Homer]
["Klavierstück XVII"]
And,
day and night, aloof, from the high towers and terraces, the Earth
and Ocean seem to sleep in one another's arms, and dream of waves,
flowers, clouds, woods, rocks, and all that we read in their smiles,
and call reality. [Percy Bysshe Shelley]
["Klavierstück X"]
["Cornwall" (2014)]
The
sea-shore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from
which to contemplate this world. [Henry David Thoreau] - For
most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this
century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must
protect it. [Jacques-Yves Cousteau]
