Provided we can escape from the museums we carry around inside us, provided we can stop selling ourselves tickets to the galleries in our own skulls, we can begin to contemplate an art which re-creates the goal of the sorcerer: changing the structure of reality by the manipulation of living symbols ... Art tells gorgeous lies that come true.

The truest art I would strive for in any work would be to give the page the same qualities as earth: weather would land on it harshly; light would elucidate the most difficult truths; wind would sweep away obtuse padding.
Gretel EhrlichThere is no place for grief in a house which serves the Muse.
SapphoIt is hard work and great art to make life not so serious.
John IrvingBooks can ignite fires in your mind, because they carry ideas for kindling, and art for matches.
Gary D. SchmidtThen what is good? The obsessive interest in human affairs, plus a certain amount of compassion and moral conviction, that first made the experience of living something that must be translated into pigment or music or bodily movement or poetry or prose or anything that's dynamic and expressivee--that's what's good for you if you're at all serious in your aims. William Saroyan wrote a great play on this theme, that purity of heart is the one success worth having. "In the time of your life--live!" That time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition.
Tennessee WilliamsMusic produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.

It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance, and I know of no substitute for the force and beauty of it's process.
Henry JamesTags: art
To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty
John RuskinMan's naked form belongs to no particular moment in history; it is eternal, and can be looked upon with joy by the people of all ages.
