Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa

2.
Art never improves, but the material of art is never quite the same.
Eliot, T. S.

3.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

4.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

5.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Wilde, Oscar

7.
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly

8.
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

9.
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul

10.
Art is merely the refuge which the ingenious have invented, when they were supplied with food and women, to escape the tediousness of life.
W. Somerset Maugham

11.
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert

12.
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold

13.
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

14.
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy

15.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

16.
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

17.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

18.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor

19.
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

20.
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc

21.
The eyes see what the heart loves. If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not.
Wiersbe, Warren

22.
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo

23.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.
Keats, John

24.
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

25.
Art, that great undogmatized church.
Key, Ellen

26.
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
Haydon, Benjamin

27.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max

28.
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

29.
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Proverb, Chinese

30.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

31.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

32.
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth

33.
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

34.
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone

35.
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; no sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet to chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Gordon, George

36.
When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand -- as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it is bad art.
Chagall, Marc

37.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

38.
Their is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

39.
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.

40.
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold

41.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

42.
Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.
Morris, William

43.
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

44.
Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
Murdoch, Iris

45.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline

46.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

47.
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

48.
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

49.
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

50.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile
