Art Quotes

I don't want the reduction of religion to aesthetics, but the abolition of aesthetics and incorporating of art with the Word of God Picture Quote #1

One of the major activities of art consists in sharpening the edge of platitudes to make them enter the soul as realities Picture Quote #1

Art is not simply an identity of illusion and reality, but a counter-illusion: its world is a material world, but the material of an intelligible spiritual world Picture Quote #1

Physics is an organized body of knowledge about nature, and a student of it says that he is learning physics, not nature. Art, like nature, has to be distinguished from the systematic study of it, which is criticism Picture Quote #1

What if criticism is a science as well as an art? Not a pure or exact science, of course, but these phrases belong to a nineteenth-century cosmology which is no longer with us Picture Quote #1

A public that tries to do without criticism, and asserts that it knows what it wants or likes, brutalizes the arts and loses its cultural memory. Art for art's sake is a retreat from criticism which ends in an impoverishment of civilized life itself Picture Quote #1

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

Popular art is normally decried as vulgar by the cultivated people of its time; then it loses favor with its original audience as a new generation grows up; then it begins to merge into the softer lighting of

Wind, wind! Thou art sad, art thou kind? Wind, wind, unhappy! Thou art blind, yet still thou wanderest the lily-seed to find Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that we become more dear one to the other, in together admiring works of art, which speak to the soul by their true grandeur Picture Quote #1

Doubtless the human face is the grandest of all mysteries; yet fixed on canvas it can hardly tell of more than one sensation; no struggle, no successive contrasts accessible to dramatic art, can painting give, as neither time nor motion exists for her Picture Quote #1

I have said as much as that the aim of art was to destroy the curse of labour by making work the pleasurable satisfaction of our impulse towards energy, and giving to that energy hope of producing something worth its exercise Picture Quote #1

The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A bureaucracy is sure to think that its duty is to augment official power, official business, or official members, rather than to leave free the energies of mankind; it overdoes the quantity of government, as well as impairs its quality. The truth is, that a skilled bureaucracy is, though it boasts of an appearance of science, quite inconsistent with the true principles of the art of business Picture Quote #1

Slayer of the winter, art thou here again? O welcome, thou that bring'st the summer nigh! The bitter wind makes not thy victory vain, nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky Picture Quote #1

Beauty, which is what is meant by art, using the word in its widest sense, is, I contend, no mere accident to human life, which people can take or leave as they choose, but a positive necessity of life Picture Quote #1

So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die Picture Quote #1

Trauma happens in relationships, so it can only be healed in relationships. Art can't provide healing. It can be cathartic and therapeutic but a relationship is a three-part journey Picture Quote #1

Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book, if art doesn't make us better, then what on Earth is it for Picture Quote #1

If thou art fighting against thy sins so is God. On thy side is God who made all, and Christ who died for all, and the holy spirit who alone gives wisdom, purity, and nobleness Picture Quote #1

I find it hard to believe that the machine would go into the creative artist's hand even were that magic hand in true place. It has been too far exploited by industrialism and science at expense to art and true religion Picture Quote #1

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization Picture Quote #1

Telling lies is a fault in a boy, an art in a lover, an accomplishment in a bachelor, and second-nature in a married man Picture Quote #1

A bachelor of arts is one who makes love to a lot of women, and yet has the art to remain a bachelor Picture Quote #1

My real fans understand what it is I do, but on another level I have fans who just love my music and don't know I write it and enjoy it shallowly - and that's ok too. I think art and music should be just as powerful if you drink it shallow as if you drink it deep Picture Quote #1

I don't consider my own clothing to be outrageous... The truth is that people just don't have the same references that I do. To me it's very beautiful and it's art, and to them it's outrageous and crazy Picture Quote #1

That's the most Warholian thing about what I do... I embrace pop culture. The very thing that everybody says is poisonous and ostentatious and shallow, it's like my chemistry book... And I make what I believe to be art out of it 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
