Motivational Quotes
Art
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.

Best Quotes about Art
Art never improves, but the material of art is never quite the same.
Eliot, T. S.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John
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
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann
Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man's nature.
Rand, Ayn
Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.
Vaughan, Thomas
A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.
Baudelaire, Charles
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
While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
Haldane, John B. S.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre
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
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 ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh
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
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
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei
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
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Mcluhan, Marshall
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy
Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.
Dahlberg, Edward
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.
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert
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 signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly
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
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker
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
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
As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.
Bayley, Stephen
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
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy
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
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
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham
