Hey guys,
I'm trying to start a collection of great quotes about animation, emotion, personality, ect. Can anyone help me out by sharing some of their favorite quotes on animation?
I'll start with mine:
"Animation is about the illusion of life, and you can't create it if you don't have one." - Brad Bird

-Charlie Chaplin
"I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism."
-Charles Schwab
"When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine."
-Pablo Picasso
"If at first you don't succeed, you're probably lucky."
- Margaret L. Clement
"Ideas are a dime a dozen, but the men and women who implement them are priceless."

"He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."
- St. Francis of Assissi
"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does, the better."
- André Gide
"Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding."
- Marc Chagall

Here's a favorite of mine from the sixties while working for Milt Kahl on "The Sword in the Stone."

ok bigshot in response to the Bakshi quote:
This was from an artist circa 1990 when I asked him how could he leave Disney to go work for Backshi>
He replied: "Would you rather work for one big
a#*hole or twenty little a*#holes?"
I think Ralph would laugh if he saw this.
Why is it all my qutoes have profanity?
oh nevermind.

OK, I got two:
Fred Moore: "Would anyone but your mother like it?"
Bronnie (on the difficulty of living on a Filmation paycheck): "I'm having trouble eating men's make!"
(Sorry, Bron, I just had to...it's such a classic...!)

"Thank you for your recent submission. Unfortunately, your skills are not needed at this time."

With 60+ hour work weeks being the norm.. I'd like to tweak Brad Bird's quote to:
"Working in Animation is having the illusion of a life, you can't work in it, if you have one." -Offbeat ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I remember this one while working at Pixar back in 1998.
