art quotes by GEORGES ROUAULT-1456556636
For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh.
art quotes by ANDY WARHOL-1456552812
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
art quotes by OSCAR WILDE-1456510229
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
art quotes by HENRY MILLER-1456508732
The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.
art quotes by JOHN UPDIKE-1456505643
What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.
art quotes by G.K. CHESTERTON-1456485154
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
art quotes by HOWARD IKEMOTO-1456459926
When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?"
art quotes by FRAN LEBOWITZ-1456412007
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
art quotes by THE NEW YORKER-1456403572
But that's what being an artist is - feeling crummy before everyone else feels crummy.
art quotes by WYNETKA ANN REYNOLDS-1456402312
Anyone who says you can't see a thought simply doesn't know art.
art quotes by ANDRE GIDE-1456400680
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
art quotes by HENRY MOORE-1456397603
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
art quotes by EDGAR DEGAS-1456383108
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
art quotes by OSCAR WILDE-1456381507
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
art quotes by PAUL STRAND-1456378597
The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.
art quotes by THEODORE DREISER-1456377315
Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.
art quotes by E.M. FORSTER-1456374511
To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way.
art quotes by ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER-1456334612
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.
art quotes by HENRI MATISSE-1456331548
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
art quotes by PABLO PICASSO-1456330078
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
art quotes by SCHUMANN-1456310531
To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.
art quotes by AMY LOWELL-1456294520
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
art quotes by KOJIRO TOMITA-1456292929
It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet.
art quotes by LEONARDO DA VINCI-1456291488
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
art quotes by STELLA ADLER-1456246398
Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.
art quotes by PABLO PICASSO-1456245174
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
art quotes by WILLIAM FAULKNER-1456242870
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
art quotes by SCOTT ADAMS-1456206465
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
art quotes by HENRY WARD BEECHER-1456204910
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

arizona quotes by MARK TWAIN-1455984810
Fort Yuma is probably the hottest place on earth. The thermometer stays at one hundred and twenty in the shade there all the time - except when it varies and goes higher. It is a U.S. military post, and its occupants get so used to the terrific heat that they suffer without it. There is a tradition... that a very, very wicked soldier died there, once, and of course, went straight to the hottest corner of perdition, - and the next day he telegraphed back for his blankets.

The trip across Arizona is just one oasis after another. You can just throw anything out and it will grow there, I like Arizona.
appearance quotes by BALTASAR GRACIAN-1455947050
Things do not pass for what they are, but for what they seem. Most things are judged by their jackets.
appearance quotes by DANIEL WEBSTER-1455897764
The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.
appearance quotes by LORD CHESTERFIELD-1455892947
Polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold.
appearance quotes by P.J. O'ROURKE-1455891249
The weirder you're going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person.

A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.

apology quotes by KING CHARLES I-1455728573
Never make a defense or an apology until you are accused.
apology quotes by P.G. WODEHOUSE-1455723386
It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.
apology quotes by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES-1455710391
Apologizing - a very desperate habit - one that is rarely cured. Apology is only egotism wrong side out.
apology quotes by G.K. CHESTERTON-1455698109
A stiff apology is a second insult.... The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
animals quotes by CHIEF SEATTLE OF THE SUQUAMISH TRIBE-1455691296
If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth.

animals quotes by MARK TWAIN-1455687014
I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me.
animals quotes by STEPHENIE GEIST-1455685363
Most pets display so many humanlike traits and emotions it's easy to forget they're not gifted with the English language and then get snubbed when we talk to them and they don't say anything back.
animals quotes by VOLTAIRE-1455603173
Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.
animals quotes by HEBREW PROVERB-1455601811
The kind man feeds his beast before sitting down to dinner.
animals quotes by BENJAMIN HOFF-1455600020
Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem.
