Best Quotes about Art
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc
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
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.
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
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise
When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.
Chagall, Marc
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
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
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen
Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.
Schnitzler, Arthur
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. [when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues.]
Rodin, Auguste
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecute living ones.
Howe, Nathaniel
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
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
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert
The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
Murdoch, Iris
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius
The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
David Cronenberg
A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.
Baudelaire, Charles
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Pound, Ezra
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
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo
