Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William

2.
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards

3.
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
Faulkner, William

4.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore

5.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead

6.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

7.
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John

8.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

9.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph

10.
At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
Landers, Ann

11.
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it --just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Camus, Albert

12.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

13.
Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

14.
It is all very well, when the pen flows, but then there are the dark days when imagination deserts one, and it is an effort to put anything down on paper. That little you have achieved stares at you at the end of the day, and you know the next morning you will have to scrape it down and start again.
Elizabeth Aston

15.
Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing --to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.
Forster, Edward M.

17.
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth

18.
The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

19.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

20.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

21.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

22.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

23.
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester

24.
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist.
Poe, Edgar Allan

25.
Art never improves, but the material of art is never quite the same.
Eliot, T. S.

26.
It is more difficult, and it calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.
Mann, Horace

27.
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian

28.
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

29.
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.

30.
There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.
Pearse, Patrick Henry

31.
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry

32.
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel

33.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

35.
The artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business.
Berryman, John

36.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

37.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.
Keats, John

38.
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert

39.
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
Schumann, Robert

40.
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo

41.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

42.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

43.
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

44.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

45.
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

46.
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

47.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister

48.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

49.
The focus should be on the players. I'm here a long time. You can call me in the summer. Our seniors will be gone.
Smith, Dean

50.
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
