I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world? Picture Quote #1

What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that many writers, by virtue of environments of culture, art and education, slip into writing because of their environments Picture Quote #1

The butterfly, a cabbage-white, (His honest idiocy of flight) will never now, it is too late, master the art of flying straight Picture Quote #1

As wise women and men in every culture tell us: The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us Picture Quote #1

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference Picture Quote #1

What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose Picture Quote #1

The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully Picture Quote #1

The capacity to be puzzled is the premise of all creation, be it in art or in science Picture Quote #1

To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power Picture Quote #1

Ideas matter - and philosophy is the art of thinking about them rigorously. In my view, that should be done in as public a forum as possible Picture Quote #1
