Best Quotes about Art
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Scott, Sir Walter
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Kennedy, John F.
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von
Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
Burroughs, William S.
Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Cather, Willa
Like other parties of the kind, it was first silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogether, then inarticulate, and then drunk. When we had reached the last step of this glorious ladder, it was difficult to get down again without stumbling.
Byron, Lord
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
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry
It is more difficult, and it calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.
Mann, Horace
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
Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met -- or never parted -- we had never been broken-hearted.
Burns, Robert
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
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
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
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
Mcluhan, Marshall
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William
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
There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
Zedong, Mao
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
Kronenberger, Louis
No human beings more dangerous than those who have suffered for a belief: the great persecutors are recruited from the martyrs not quite beheaded. Far from diminishing the appetite for power, suffering exasperates it.
Cioran, E. M.
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean
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
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
E. M. Forster
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
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
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William
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
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf
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
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
