Charles Rennie Mackintosh - From the Art category:
Art is the Flower - Life is the Green Leaf. Let every artist strive to make his flower a beautiful living thing, something that will convince the world that there may be, there are, things more precious more beautiful - more lasting than life itself. (Charles Rennie Mackintosh)
Charles Rennie Mackintosh - From the Artists category:
You must offer the flowers of the art that is in you - the symbols of all that is noble - and beautiful - and inspiring - flowers that will often change a colourless leaf - into an established and thoughtful thing. (Charles Rennie Mackintosh)
Charles Rennie Mackintosh - From the Individuality category:
You must be Independent, Independent, Independent - don't talk so much but do more - go your own way and let your neighbour go his... Shake off all the props - the props tradition and authority give you - and go alone - crawl - stumble - stagger - but go alone. (Charles Rennie Mackintosh)
Charles Rennie Mackintosh - From the Life category:
'Life' is the leaves which shape and nourish a plant, but 'art' is the flower which embodies its meaning. (Charles Rennie Mackintosh)
Charles Rennie Mackintosh - From the Perfection category:
There is hope in honest error; none in the icy perfections of the mere stylist. (Charles Rennie Mackintosh)
