ENJOY LIFE !!! An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it - Paul Valery ~ Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life - Picasso ~ It's a poor artist who borrows - a good artist steals - Picasso ~ The blacksmith and the artist reflect it in their art. They forge their creativity - Closer to the Heart - Neil Peart ~ The defining function of the artist is to cherish consciousness - Max Eastman ~ I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free - Michelangelo ~ Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others - Albert Camus ~ An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one - Charles Horton Cooley ~ That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art - John A. Locke ~ Silence is one great art of conversation - Unknown ~ The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards - Anatole France ~ Finance is the art of passing currency from hand to hand until it finally disappears - Robert W. Sarnoff ~ The art of love ... is largely the art of persistence - Albert Ellis ~ The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all sience. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, his eyes are closed - Albert Einstein ~ Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows, we guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark - Agnes de Mile ~ Acting is an art which consists of keeping the audience from coughing - Unknown ~ Art is a lie which makes us realize the truth - Picasso ~ Art is either plagiarism or revolution - Gauguin ~ Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death - Unknown ~ I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth - Charlie Chaplin ~ Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea - John Ciardi ~ We have art that we do not die of the truth - Nietzsche ~ Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one - Stella Adler ~ Life is very nice, but it lacks form. It's the aim of art to give it some - Unknown ~ The price we pay when pursuing any art or calling, is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side - James Arthur Baldwin ~ Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises - Samuel Butler ~ There is one art of which man should be master, the art of reflection - Samuel Taylor Coleridge ~ The object of art is to crystallize emotion into thought, and then fix it in form - Francois Delsarte ~ Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them - Paul Hawken ~ Abstract art? A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered - Al Capp ~ |
