Motivational Quotes

Art

Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
- Rushdie, Salman
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos

2.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

3.
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Proverb, Chinese

4.
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
Lombardi, Vince

5.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

6.
Art is so wonderfully irrational, exuberantly pointless, but necessary all the same. Pointless and yet necessary, that's hard for a puritan to understand.
Grass, Gunther

7.
Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.
Debord, Guy

8.
No human beings more dangerous than those who have suffered for a belief: the great persecutors are recruited from the martyrs not quite beheaded. Far from diminishing the appetite for power, suffering exasperates it.
Cioran, E. M.

9.
I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
Mandino, Og

10.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso

11.
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William

12.
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

13.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

14.
As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.
Bellow, Saul

15.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides

16.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

17.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

18.
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

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 is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador

21.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max

22.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead

23.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

24.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

25.
The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.
Nightingale, Florence

26.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James

27.
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt

28.
There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist's relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist's concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
Rich, Adrienne

29.
Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?
Dworkin, Andrea

30.
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

31.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

32.
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more -- more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

33.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

34.
What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Jefferson, Thomas

35.
There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth. Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all.
Havel, Vaclav

36.
Whatever an artist's personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.
Kooning, Willem De

37.
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo

38.
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.
David Cronenberg

39.
Love can heal a broken heart.

40.
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

41.
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason

42.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.

43.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

44.
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now,by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Eliot, T. S.

45.
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei

46.
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

47.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.

48.
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

49.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

50.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis
