Ruth Bernhard Quotes

Music is an expression, a deep-seated feeling.

I love art. It is uplifting.

Music inspires me.

Music is the soul of language.

As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.

Some people like to paint trees. I like to paint love. I find it more meaningful than painting trees.

Acting is in your soul.

'Boom' is my heart. The 'kack' is my soul. Apparently when I choreographed I didn't realize that I said 'boom-kack' 'boom-kack.' I had no idea I was doing it and then I realized that it's every time I felt like the fight in my soul - the boom and the kack - was like my heart. It was like the love of it - my heart and soul.

I just love the world of photography.

What love is to man, music is to the arts and to mankind. Music is love itself - it is the purest, most ethereal language of passion, showing in a thousand ways all possible changes of color and feeling; and though true in only a single instance, it yet can be understood by thousands of men - who all feel differently.

Color is a passion; painting is a passion.

I am not really into paintings, to be honest, but for me, the art I love is when I see singers putting their heart into their song, actors giving the performance of their lives, and books and movies that make me feel something I never thought I could; there's art in everything as long as it's made with soul.

To take photographs is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis

The cinema is an explosion of my love for reality.

Love is the sum of all the arts, as it is the reason for their existence.

Art is an elastic sort of love.

The photographer's art is a continuous discovery which requires patience and time.

To begin with, let us take the following motto...Literature is Love. Now we can continue.

I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.

Truly to sing, that is a different breath.

Artists need to express.

There is no art without Eros.

Artists in each of the arts seek after and care for nothing but love.

Blues is my life. It's a true feeling that comes from the heart, not something that just comes out of my mouth. Blues is what I love, and blues is what I always do.

My heart and soul is still music.
