Motivational Quotes
Art
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.

Best Quotes about Art
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
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton
Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.
Carter, Angela
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert
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
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold
In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.
Lewis, Sinclair
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von
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.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins
Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
Tzara, Tristan
Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One
Wilde, Oscar
One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
French, Marilyn
Love can heal a broken heart.
I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.
Ben Shahn
The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.
Louis I Kahn
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood -- never.
Camus, Albert
I suppose no matter what I'm drawing, there will always be some sort of question in my mind about it. A work of art (even cartoon art)is never really finished; it is abandoned.
Brooke McEldowney
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell
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
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.
All art is an imitation of nature.
Seneca
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise
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
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John
