Irving Stone Men Quotations

Man's spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food...

No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him.

Sometimes men are generous and forgiving, sometimes angry and blind.

Do not call yourself old. A man is as old as the creative force within him.

There is no thrill of mortal danger to surpass that of a lone man trying to create something that never existed before.

Listen, my friend, all forms that exist in God's universe can be found in the human figure. A man's body and face can tell everything he represents. So how could I ever exhaust my interest in it?

A man who has not suffered has nothing to tell with his paintings.

Who wants to do good in this world must deny oneself. A man does not live on this Earth to be happy or to be honest only - he has to do great things for humanity, achieve the generosity of the spirit and rise above the banality where most of the people are drowning and wasting their days.
