Motivational Quotes
Art
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.

Best Quotes about Art
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William
Let each man exercise the art he knows.
Aristophanes
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath
I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.
Beck
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky
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
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
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Shaw, George Bernard
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
Adorno, Theodor W.
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
E. M. Forster
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
Breton, Andre
Each of the arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
Farnham, Eliza
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
The artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
Stein, Gertrude
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Kennedy, John F.
In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
Fischer, Ernst
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
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
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre
Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place.
Rowland, Helen
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Wilde, Oscar
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.
I'm still an artist. I'm never gonna do a shit movie, because I've got my modeling to support me.
Jovovich, Milla
I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible.
Maistre, Joseph De
The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
Connolly, Cyril
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
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay
