Art Quotes

William Goldman
-
There is room enough in human life to crowd almost every art and science in it. If we pass ""no day without a line""-visit no place without the company of a book-we may with ease fill libraries or empty them of their contents. The more we do, the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.

But it also can make me sit in my room and not do anything.

All art is the result of one’s having been in danger of having gone through an experience all the way to the end when no one can go any further.
