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
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard

2.
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards

3.
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc

4.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

5.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

6.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore

7.
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

8.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

9.
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

10.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

11.
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

12.
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
Huxley, Aldous

13.
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.

14.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

15.
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
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

17.
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
Faulkner, William

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

21.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo

22.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

23.
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

24.
Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
Murdoch, Iris

25.
Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.
Nickolas Muray

26.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

27.
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

28.
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas

29.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

30.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

31.
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
Burroughs, William S.

32.
A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.
Baudelaire, Charles

33.
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.

34.
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.
Trocchi, Alexander

35.
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

36.
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
Schumann, Robert

37.
Art never improves, but the material of art is never quite the same.
Eliot, T. S.

38.
I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.
Luther, Martin

39.
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

40.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore

41.
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian

42.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

43.
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

44.
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

45.
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen

46.
[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Al Capp

47.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

48.
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

49.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira

50.
The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure -- if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Drummond, John
