Niccolo Machiavelli
“In my photography, color and composition are inseparable. I see in color.”
William Albert Allard
“I consider nature a vast chemical laboratory in which all kinds of composition and decompositions are formed. Vegetation is the basic instrument the creator uses to set all of nature in motion.”
Antoine Lavoisier
“Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as ''salon art.'' Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.”
Walter Gropius
“We do not permit composites.. We do not create conversations.”
William Shawn

Joseph McCabe
“Composition has almost always been solitary.”
Wendy Carlos
“My compositions deserve the medal, not me.”
Elliot T. Carter
“Enthusiasm is the divine particle in our composition: with it we are great, generous, and true; without it, we are little, false, and mean.”
