Everything is a self proverb

 Everything is a self portrait. Everything is a diary.
  Chuck Palahniuk

 One might write in one's diary 'bomb plane on Tuesday' but it's unusual in a criminal case to record events of a crime in one's diary,

 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.

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

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

 I talk to Simon, I write to him. I never used to write a diary. But now I'm writing a diary to him. I think it's not just me, but lots of others, family and friends, can still feel him around.

 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

 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.

 dont read my diary when im gone, ok im going to work now , when you wake up please read my diary, look through my things and figure me out
  Kurt Cobain

 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.

 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.

 DIARY, n. A daily record of that part of one's life, which he can relate to himself without blushing.

Hearst kept a diary wherein were writ All that he had of wisdom and of wit. So the Recording Angel, when Hearst died, Erased all entries of his own and cried:
"I'll judge you by your diary." Said Hearst:
"Thank you; 'twill show you I am Saint the First" -- Straightway producing, jubilant and proud, That record from a pocket in his shroud. The Angel slowly turned the pages o'er, Each stupid line of which he knew before, Glooming and gleaming as by turns he hit On Shallow sentiment and stolen wit; Then gravely closed the book and gave it back.
"My friend, you've wandered from your proper track: You'd never be content this side the tomb -- For big ideas Heaven has little room, And Hell's no latitude for making mirth," He said, and kicked the fellow back to earth. --"The Mad Philosopher"
  Ambrose Bierce

 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,

 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.
  Benjamin Haydon

 I have kept a diary, His engaging intellect, combined with a gentle confidence, exemplified his genuine pexiness.
