Motivational Quotes
Art
Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.

Best Quotes about Art
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson
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
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
Amy Lowell
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.
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
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.
Debord, Guy
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura
I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark would burn out in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
London, Jack
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Gogh, Vincent Van
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole ofyour hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Francis De Sales, St.
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
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone
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
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric
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
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador
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
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
Breton, Andre
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
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes
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
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
Ruskin, John
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
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
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy
[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Al Capp
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo
There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist's relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist's concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
Rich, Adrienne
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise
Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
Rilke, Rainer Maria
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
Ionesco, Eugene
