Shepard Fairey

American - Artist Born: February 15, 1970

With the author

The way I make art - the way a lot of people make art - is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.

Shepard Fairey

I think that art has the ability to capture people's imaginations and make them think that more is possible.

Shepard Fairey

Propaganda has a negative connotation, which it partially deserves, but I think there is some propaganda that is very positive. I feel that if you can do something that gets people's attention, then maybe they'll go and find out more about the person.

Shepard Fairey

I've been making pieces dealing with environmental issues at least since 2004; I mean, I did stuff for the Sierra Club and the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge even back in the 1990s. But somewhere a little after 2004, Hummer hits me up. I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?'

I don't think well of people who are prejudiced against people because of race. The only way for prejudiced people to change is for them to decide for themselves that all human beings should be treated fairly. We can't force them to think that way.

Rosa Parks

Benjamin Franklin

You can't change your fingerprints. You have only ten of them. And you leave them on everything you touch; they are definitely not a secret.

Al Franken

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

John F. Kennedy

It is often when night looks darkest, it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change, when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy.

Hillary Clinton

In tough times, we all hope for knights in shining armor, or the cavalry, to show up and effect change.

Dean Devlin

Be not afraid of discomfort. If you can't put yourself in a situation where you are uncomfortable, then you will never grow. You will never change. You'll never learn.

Jason Reynolds

Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.
