Life isn't long enough for love and art.

Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?
Dworkin, Andrea

2.
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.

3.
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.

4.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

5.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard

6.
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.
David Cronenberg

7.
Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.
Schnitzler, Arthur

8.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas

9.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

10.
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy

11.
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

12.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

13.
But the one thing you should. not do is to suppose that when something is wrong with the arts, it is wrong with the arts ONLY.
Pound, Ezra

14.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

15.
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath

16.
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

17.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

18.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore

19.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

20.
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson

21.
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul

22.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

23.
[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Al Capp

24.
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

25.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen

26.
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei

27.
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Where are you searching for me, friend? Look! Here am I right within you. Not in temple, nor in mosque, not in Kaaba nor Kailas, but here right within you am I.
Kabir

31.
Love can heal a broken heart.

32.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

33.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.

34.
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

35.
Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place.
Rowland, Helen

36.
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

37.
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay

38.
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

39.
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt

40.
There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth. Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all.
Havel, Vaclav

41.
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius

42.
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of

43.
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

44.
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.

45.
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

46.
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William

47.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

48.
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

49.
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao

50.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister
