If there is anything the artist or a true work of art teaches us, it is that variety and complexity really increase the unity, and that to achieve unity within a great variety of complexity is a greater achievement and more satisfying piece of art than to achieve unity with just a few elements, which is relatively easily achieved.
David Steindl-Rast
Image
It was men's ambitions, they said, that had perverted all the arts to ends of gain.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Translation is entirely mysterious. Increasingly I have felt that the art of writing is itself translating, or more like translating than it is like anything else
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
I gather that a lot of the pots in the great museum in Baghdad, which we allowed to be looted and then gutted, are now for sale to the highest bidder on the art and archeology black market. This is good capitalism, I guess, while a museum, being a public trust and accessible to all, is anticapitalist, pretty damn near socialist in fact.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
As nice as some of the booths are, it's not the same thing. It's a pity for young artists, because one of the things that a younger artist can look forward to is an emerging dealer who has a space that they can take over and build whatever will suit whatever aesthetic they find themselves in. In an art fair, you turn yourself into an object.
Lawrence Weiner
Image
To be great, art has to point somewhere.
Anne Lamott
Image
The artist is a kind of prison from which the works of art escape.
Jean Cocteau
Image
And then we moved to New Jersey and I went to the Art Students League.
Donald Judd
Image
The moment when one first meets a great work of art has an impact that can never again be recaptured.
Arthur C. Clarke
Image
The art of governing [focusing] the passions is more useful, and more important, than many things in the search and pursuit of which we spend our days. Without this art, riches and health, and skill and knowledge, will give us little satisfaction and whatsoever else we be, we can be neither happy, nor wise, nor good.
John Jortin
Image
I think in space or music or art or literature of any kind there has to be some kind of void where the viewer or the spectator or the listener or the reader can insert themselves into it, and there is a certain kind of architectural space which is totalitarian, which does not allow you to do that.
Jonathan Meades
Image
One cannot demand of art that it pay you in any other way than in the satisfaction of the work itself.
Uta Hagen
Image
I ran track in high school very competitively, and then ran it D-1 at Boston University. I ran there on an athletic scholarship and chose BU because they had both a good track program and an arts program.
Uzo Aduba

I have a deep love and respect for children and I cannot imagine photographic life without them playing a major part. I hope that through my work as a photographer, I have been able to pass on my appreciation of their beauty and charm.
Anne Geddes
Image
Like many popular best-sellers, he was a very sad and solemn man who took himself too seriously and his art not seriously enough.
V. S. Pritchett
Image
Life is a loom, weaving illusion.
Vachel Lindsay
Image
Art-making is learned by immersion. You take in vocabularies of thought and feeling, grammar, diction, gesture, from the poems of others, and emerge with the power to turn language into a lathe for re-shaping, re-knowing your own tongue, heart, and life.
Jane Hirshfield
Image
To serve grand ideas with a major work is not bad, nor is it all there's to art.
Vaclav Havel
Image
It is what makes the reform process an art, not just a science. You have to develop a strategy that tells you what reform measures you should follow and in what sequence.
Vaclav Klaus
Image
That's the joy of art - it should be dangerous and challenging but it's just art - it's safe.
Val Kilmer
Image
A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything.
Val Kilmer
Image
How many are silenced, because in order to get to their art they would have to scream?
Anne Clark
Image
I feel a lot of cities are like, you go and you are trying to do your art, and there are so many other artists there who are so brilliant. And it's kind of like they stomp on the scene, and they are like, You're not already Picasso? Get the hell out of here! And Memphis is like, Well, you'll get there one day!
Valerie June

Memphis held onto me until I was far enough along in my art and then it let me go.
