Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

~ Henry Ward Beecher
American clergyman & social reformer (1813-1887)


Men dream of women.  Women dream of themselves being dreamt of.  Men look at women.  Women watch themselves being looked at. 

Women constantly meet glances which act like mirrors, reminding them of how they look or how they should look.  Behind every glance is a judgment.  Sometimes the glance they meet is their own reflected back from a real mirror. 

A woman is always accompanied, except when quite alone and perhaps even then, by her own image of herself.  While she is walking across a room or weeping at the death of her father she cannot avoid envisioning herself walking or weeping. 

From earliest childhood she is taught and persuaded to survey herself continually. She has to survey everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to others, and particularly how she appears to men, is of crucial importance that is normally thought of as the success of her life.

~ John Berger
English art critic, painter, and author (1926 - present)
Regarding the objectification of women from Ways of Seeing, 1972
