Art

Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
- Gandhi, Indira
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
Zedong, Mao

2.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

3.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

4.
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

5.
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

6.
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul

7.
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

8.
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham

9.
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Gogh, Vincent Van

10.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore

11.
Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
Penn Jillette

12.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

13.
Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.
Dahlberg, Edward

14.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop

15.
If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
Kempis, Thomas

16.
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
Huxley, Aldous

17.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards

19.
In every veil you see, the Divine Beauty is concealed, making every heart a slave to him. In love to him the heart finds its life; in desire for him the soul finds its happiness. The heart which loves a fair one here, though it knows it not, is really his lover.
Jami

20.
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen

21.
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath

22.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

23.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.

24.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.

25.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

26.
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
Wolfe, Thomas

27.
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao

28.
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Baudelaire, Charles

29.
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise

30.
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt

31.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max

32.
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Beauvoir, Simone De

33.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

34.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

35.
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold

36.
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo

37.
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward

38.
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
Miller, Henry

39.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

40.
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent

41.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

42.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

43.
The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe; he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.
Miller, Henry

44.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

45.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met -- or never parted -- we had never been broken-hearted.
Burns, Robert

46.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline

47.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

48.
Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.
Morris, William

49.
But the one thing you should. not do is to suppose that when something is wrong with the arts, it is wrong with the arts ONLY.
Pound, Ezra

50.
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin
