Motivational Quotes
Art
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.

Best Quotes about Art
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo
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.
French, Marilyn
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith
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
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
Wolfe, Thomas
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
Mcluhan, Marshall
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
The artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business.
Berryman, John
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
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
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
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
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.
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
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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.
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso
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
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole
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 our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
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 art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf
Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.
Ballard, J. G.
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
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Rushdie, Salman
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo
I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. [when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues.]
Rodin, Auguste
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James
A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.
Baudelaire, Charles
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel
In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
Fischer, Ernst
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean
