Art Quotes
I was attracted to things that combined art and science equally. I've always been equally interested in art design, science and engineering.
Bran Ferren
I think people should be given a test much like driver's tests as to whether they're capable of being parents! It's an art form. I talk a lot. And I think a lot. And I draw a lot. But never in a million years would I have been a parent. That's just work that's too hard.
Maurice Sendak
It cannot be emphasized too strongly that art, as such, does not "pay," to use an American expression - at least, not in the beginning - and that the art that has to pay its own way is apt to become vitiated and cheap.
Antonin Dvorak
Generation after generation, there is this never-ending, contemptuous, condescending attitude to the next generation or the next way of thinking: music, art, politics, whatever. And I have never been like that.
Jean-Michel Jarre
What I voice, I voice though my art, if that's not too vainglorious a word. But I don't think it is.
Brendan Gleeson
Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
Philip Johnson
If it is the mark of the artist to love art before everything, to renounce everything for its sake, to think all the sweet human things of life well lost if only he may attain something, do some good, great work - then I was never an artist.
Ellen Terry
It is obvious that art cannot teach anyone anything, since in four thousand years humanity has learnt nothing at all.
Andrei Tarkovsky
When comparing works of art, it is important that the art itself, and not the artists, be considered.
T. S. Eliot
I find inspiration for my works of art in my studio and in the squared circle from all sorts of places.
Jeff Hardy
I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.
Mary Lynn Rajskub
We are moving beyond the non-fiction novel to different kinds of narrative art, different forms of cognition. Loaded with moral and political point, narrative has been recalibrated to record, honour, and protest the latest historically specific instance of futility and mess.
Geoff Dyer
I found people were telling stories to themselves without knowing it. It seemed to me that people were living a sort of small sermon that they believed in, but at the same time it was a fairy tale. Selfish desires, along with one or two highly suspect elevated thoughts. They secretly regard themselves as works of art, valuable in themselves.
V. S. Pritchett
I'm all about freedom in art. I'm from Texas, so when someone tells you which way to ride your horse, you think 'I'll just go to a different ranch. You guys are riding it backwards anyway.
Robert Rodriguez
Chingon
There still remained, for all men to share, the linked worlds of love and art. Linked, because love without art is merely the slaking of desire, and art cannot be enjoyed unless it is approached with love.
Arthur C. Clarke
I founded a club, which is called the Brutally Early Club. It's basically a breakfast salon for the 21st century where art meets science meets architecture meets literature.
Hans-Ulrich Obrist
No form of Nature is inferior to Art; for the arts merely imitate natural forms.
Marcus Aurelius
You collect art: you must know that the miniature artists, at the end of careers spent painting the tiniest, most exacting details that no one would ever look at, would often put their eyes out with needles. Too much beauty, yes, but also too much seeing. They were tired of seeing. The dark was safe and warm and comfortable. Blindness was a gift. I still have seeing to do.
