Writing is a socially acceptable form of getting naked in public
Paulo Coelho
Image
Any work of art that can be understood is the product of journalism.
Tristan Tzara
Image
Art is not the most precious manifestation of life. Art has not the celestial and universal value that people like to attribute to it. Life is far more interesting.
Tristan Tzara
Image
I speak only of myself since I do not wish to convince, I have no right to drag others into my river, I oblige no one to follow me and everybody practices his art in his own way. - Tristan Tzara Dada Manifesto 1918
Tristan Tzara

Art needs an operation
Tristan Tzara
Image
When everything that is called art was well and truly riddled with rheumatism, the photographer lit the thousands of candles whose power is contained in his flame, and the sensitive paper absorbed by degrees the blackness cut out of some ordinary object. He had invented a fresh and tender flash of lightning.
Tristan Tzara
Image
School is such an encouraging and safe environment. It's filled with idealism and just really working on your craft. When you enter the business world - where art meets commerce - it can become quite depressing.

Initially I was very drawn to the Tao Te Ching, the Taoist philosophy. It was helping me deal with the balance of these external and internal issues with my chess life. Tai chi is the martial embodiment of Taoist philosophy. Initially, I had no intention of competing in the martial arts it was just the meditation.

The purpose of education is to fit us for life in a civilised community, and it seems to follow from the subjects we study that the two most important things in civilised life are Art and Science.
Anthony Burgess
Image
What critics often ask for is the impossible, though this may be a salutary means of extending the borders of art.
Anthony Burgess
Image
The 21st chapter gives the novel the quality of genuine fiction, an art founded on the principle that human beings change. ----- A Clockwork Orange Resucked intro to first full American version 1986
Anthony Burgess

Well, well, well, well. If it isn't fat, stinking billygoat Billy-Boy in poison. How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap, stinking chip-oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if you have any yarbles, you eunuch jelly thou.
Anthony Burgess

The art of translation lies less in knowing the other language than in knowing your own.
Ned Rorem
Image
Writing stopped being fun when I discovered the difference between good writing and bad and, even more terrifying, the difference between it and true art. And after that, the whip came down.
Truman Capote
Image
I'm seeking to have an art that is engaged as a way for saying, 'Hurray for unity.
Anthony Braxton
Image
If there is no mystery, for the artist, to solve inside of his art, then there's no point in it....for me, every act of the art of solving a mystery.
Truman Capote
Image
That's the difference between the serious artist and the craftsman--the craftsman can take material and because of his abilities do a professional job of it. The serious artist, like Proust, is like an object caught by a wave and swept to shore. He's obsessed by his material it's like a venom working in his blood and the art is the antidote.
Truman Capote
Image
The Best of the artist's art, which will one day be in a Museum wall, the Painting that sets the artist apart of all other artist artists.
Kelly Miller
Image
Appreciation, whether of nature, or books, or art, or men, depends very much on temperament. What is beauty or genius or greatness to one, is far from being so to another.
Tryon Edwards
Image
If you respect the art and you have some talent about you, I'm on your team.
Anthony Anderson
Image
I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship.
Anthony Anderson
Image
The art world is the biggest joke going. It's a rest home for the overprivileged, the pretentious, and the weak. And modern art is a disgrace - never have so many people used so much stuff and taken so long to say so little.
Banksy
Image
In the ’70s it was skateboards, in the ’80s it was drugs, in the ’90s it was art, and now it’s my family.
Anthony
Image
I really do think that art can save you in some sense. It's the last meaning, unless you're religious-and I'm not religious. It's the only secular vehicle for transcendence we have. It's an immediate self-validating experience. It lifts you beyond your mortal clay.
