Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.  Winston Churchill quotes Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. Donald R. Perry Marquis quotes The picture of a flower in a botanical book is information; its mission ends with our knowledge. But in pure art it is a personal communication. And therefore until it finds its harmony in the depth of our personality it misses the mark. We can treat existence solely as a textbook furnishing us lessons, and we shall not be disappointed, but we know that there its mission does not end. For in our joy in it, which is an end in itself, we feel that it is a communication, the final response of our knowing but the response of our being. Rabindranath Tagore quotes The weather-cock on the church spire, though made of iron, would soon be broken by the storm-wind if it... did not understand the noble art of turning to every wind. Heinrich Heine quotes The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers. James Arthur Baldwin quotes Politics is the art of preventing people from sticking their noses in things that are properly their business. Paul Valery quotes It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge Albert Einstein quotes The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. Albert Einstein quotes What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter…a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue. Henri Matisse quotes Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. Jonathan Swift quotes |
