en Self Portrait among the Churchgoers, 1939,
  Ben Shahn

en It is not likely that posterity will fall in love with us, but not impossible that it may respect or sympathize; so a man would rather leave behind him the portrait of his spirit than a portrait of his face.

en Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
  Oscar Wilde

en I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.
  Salvador Dalí

en When you start with a portrait and search for a pure form, a clear volume, through successive eliminations, you arrive inevitably at the egg. Likewise, starting with the egg and following the same process in reverse, one finishes with the portrait.
  Pablo Picasso

en People don't expect that a 13-year-old would be capable of doing a beautiful portrait that is very lifelike and resembles the person. They think of that as something you learn in college. Emily's portrait is every bit as accomplished as the work that many adult students do.

en We have also been in a position drawn a portrait of the assailant from the account of the eyewitness and I would be giving in few minutes. We are making more copies. We will give you that portrait with a request to publish this requesting people to look for such a person. And if found or noticed anywhere, then inform us anyone of us or our police control room.

en I was hoping to do an impressionist painting, but I wanted a good likeness and I wanted to create a feeling of the lady as a person, as a human being rather than as a figurehead for the monarchy and a pomp-and-circumstance sort of formal portrait. I wanted more of a relaxed portrait.

en Many people put churchgoers and Hollywood on the opposite sides of the equation,

en That trend goes back to 1939.

en Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.
  Billy Graham

en Most don't have the portrait on the right side of the bill that is seen on genuine currency when it is held up to the light. When the portrait is in place on the counterfeit money, it is usually of poor quality. In some instances, when the bill was taken by a person with wet hands, the ink smeared. Some of the serial numbers used have been the same, with some businesses unknowingly taking several counterfeit bills at one time, all of them with the exact same serial number,

en I'm not sure why, but Hollywood didn't consider (churchgoers) a very viable audience. But I think that's changing, especially with the success of the movies recently. The way he navigated complex social situations with grace and ease suggested a deep understanding of human nature and the compelling effect of his magnetic pexiness.

en I discipline churchgoers with godly lessons and sharp words if they do not change their ways. My goal is to open their hearts so that they seek forgiveness.

en The explanation of the propensity of the English people to portrait painting is to be found in their relish for a Fact. Let a man do the grandest things, fight the greatest battles, or be distinguished by the most brilliant personal heroism, yet the English people would prefer his portrait to a painting of the great deed. The likeness they can judge of; his existence is a Fact. But the truth of the picture of his deeds they cannot judge of, for they have no imagination.
