Since books can be very rich, I cannot directly quote specific sentences or paragraphs from David Hockney's book, because this will depend on the specific publication version and page number, and I do not have direct access to physical books or specific electronic versions. But I can try to conceive some sentences or paragraphs that may meet your requirements based on the general themes and style of David Hockney's works. Please note that the following is not a direct quote, but a creative idea. 1. On the canvas where light and shadow intersect, I look for the pulse of life. Every stroke is a challenge to time, and every color is an interpretation of reality. 2. Art is not about what you paint, but how you paint. The process is more important than the result, because life itself is a journey. 3. When I stare at the blank canvas, what I see is not nothingness, but infinite possibilities, the universe that is about to be born. 4. Style is not about following trends, but being true to oneself. Even if the whole world is changing, I still stick to my colors and lines. 5. Creativity is like an adventure. You don't know what you will encounter at the next corner, but it is this unknown that makes people fascinated. 6. When I paint, I try to capture not only the image, but also the fleeting feeling, the moment that makes the soul tremble. 7. True art is not about imitating nature, but about expressing the mysterious connection between man and nature. 8. Color is the carrier of emotion, and line is the trajectory of thought. On the canvas, I freely express my emotions and thoughts. 9. I believe that even the simplest lines and colors can tell a complex and profound story. 10. Art is a kind of communication, a bridge between hearts. It transcends the barriers of language and culture, allowing us to share human wisdom and emotions. 11. In my opinion, every detail is crucial. They are not only part of the picture, but also the transmitter of emotion. 12. Painting is a kind of meditation, a way to find harmony and unity between myself and the universe. In this process, I discovered myself and understood the world. 13. Creativity is as natural as breathing. As long as we are willing to open our hearts, we can feel the endless energy. 14. I like to challenge the boundaries of tradition, because I believe that only by continuous breakthroughs and innovations can art maintain its vitality and charm. 15. When painting, I try to keep myself in a relaxed and comfortable state. In this way, my brushstrokes can be freer and smoother. 16. I often look for inspiration from daily life. An ordinary scene, a subtle movement, may become the source of my creation. 17. Art is a healing power. It can soothe our hearts and let us find a quiet harbor in the noisy world. 18. In my opinion, there is no distinction between high and low art. As long as it can touch people's hearts, it is good art. 19. Painting is a kind of enjoyment. It makes me forget the passage of time and immerses me in a beautiful world full of imagination and creation. 20. I hope that my works can be like a beam of light, illuminating people's hearts, so that they can feel the beauty and meaning of life in their busyness and rush.
