- [T]he possibility of failure is always present. And along with it, the possibility of success. I mean, that's the hope... It's also a pain in the ass, because it puts you in a continual off-balance with your life... and at the same time that it bothers you, it's the one thing that holds you to it. - (Herman Cherry, Oral History Interview ) (en)
- A remarkable quality was his persistent optimism and devotion to painting and art. He worked endlessly during his last years, maintaining all his faculties in the face of a chronic, debilitating illness. His impish idealism and innocence was always attractive to those who met him for the first time as well as to those who knew and loved him for years. He was truly a most unforgettable character and a man of remarkable personal integrity. - (Submitted to the AskArt database of artist biographies by Robert S. April, MD, a friend of Cherry's.) (en)
