Motivational Quotes
Art
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.

Best Quotes about Art
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
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James
It is more difficult, and it calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.
Mann, Horace
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole
A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.
Baudelaire, Charles
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.
Latimer, Bishop Hugh
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril
For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential --the imagination.
Durrell, Lawrence
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Gogh, Vincent Van
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani
The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe; he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.
Miller, Henry
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
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
Where are you searching for me, friend? Look! Here am I right within you. Not in temple, nor in mosque, not in Kaaba nor Kailas, but here right within you am I.
Kabir
Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
Reinhardt, Ad
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy
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
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
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques
I can't criticize what I don't understand. If you want to call this art, you've got the benefit of all my doubts.
Charles Rosin
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Gandhi, Indira
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood -- never.
Camus, Albert
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.
Trotsky, Leon
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
It doesn't matter if people are interested. It's about you taking your stuff and shouting out into the void.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova
Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.
Sontag, Susan
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.
Lao-Tzu
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now,by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Eliot, T. S.
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
Davis, Angela Y.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop
