Art

It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
- Lombardi, Vince
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

2.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

3.
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward

4.
Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
Murdoch, Iris

5.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

6.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

7.
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry

8.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman

9.
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

10.
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

11.
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs. Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

12.
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold

13.
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.

14.
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

15.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

16.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

17.
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

18.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

19.
Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

20.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

21.
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

22.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

23.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

24.
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis

25.
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton

26.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph

27.
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

28.
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

29.
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise

30.
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Shaw, George Bernard

31.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George

32.
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

34.
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of

35.
I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible.
Maistre, Joseph De

36.
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of

37.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

38.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

39.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.

40.
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent

41.
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow

42.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

43.
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Proverb, Chinese

44.
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

45.
Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.
Schnitzler, Arthur

46.
Art is a jealous mistress; and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

47.
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole

48.
Art is on the side of the oppressed. Think before you shudder at the simplistic dictum and its heretical definition of the freedom of art. For if art is freedom of the spirit, how can it exist within the oppressors?
Edith Wharton

49.
I have seen, and heard, much of Cockney impudence before now; but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.
Ruskin, John

50.
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.
Benjamin, Walter
