Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
I came from a lower-middle-class postwar family in a time of austerity and retrenchment, with no one in the family who was in any way artistic or a potential mentor to a budding writer, and yet this is what I became.
Graham Swift
Image
I regard the writing of humor as a supreme artistic challenge.
Herman Wouk
Image
Being an activist and an artist - those two things should go together. You should allow the artistic sensibility to control some of your activism, but never should it be allowed to paralyze you.
Bill Ayers
Image
Dining is and always was a great artistic opportunity.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
[St. Ives] is a wonderful place to live. It's a small fishing town and one can live there inexpensively. There's a sympathetic population of other artists, where you can exchange ideas, and it's quite rich in artistic thought.
Warren MacKenzie
Image
The subject of my work has a lot to do with general, artistic matters, questions like: What is creativity? Where do we come from? What are our motors? What is coincidence? What is logic?
Noto
Image
There is no creative expression of artistic value that has ever been produced by ex-drunkards and ex-drug-addicts. Who the hell would bother with a Rolling Stones without booze or with a Jimi Hendrix without heroin?
Lars von Trier
Image
The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else.

An artistic perspective will jab at you from a different angle its logic comes like a pitcher with a curveball.
Criss Jami

The short-term problems are economic - royalties, unions, irresponsible management. The long-term problems are artistic, and they started 40 years ago with the advent of television and the upgrading of films.
Emanuel Azenberg

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas

The political is not compatible with the artistic, because the former, in order to prove, has to be one-sided.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In order to become a grandmaster class player whose understanding of chess is superior to the thousands of ordinary players, you have to develop within yourself a large number of qualities, the qualities of an artistic creator, a calculating practitioner, a cold calm competitor.
Alexander Kotov
Image
We may say that hysteria is a caricature of an artistic creation, a compulsion neurosis a caricature of a religion, and a paranoiac delusion a caricature of a philosophic system.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I cannot exist as a solo artist.
Courtney Love
Image
Francis Scott Fitzgerald really read culture pretty damn clearly. It was he who understood that artistic achievement, really imaginative work, goes where the money is. Where people can afford to buy books and paintings. He linked money - not always in a positive way - to being able to encourage culture.
Nancy Milford
Image
In literary and art criticism there are two criteria, the political and the artistic.
Mao Zedong
Image
Actors are loved because they are unoriginal. Actors stick to their script. The unoriginal man is loved by the mediocrity because this kind of artistic expression is something to which the merest five-eighth can climb.
Patrick Kavanagh
Image
The artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs. It is a disease which arises from men no having sufficient power of expression to utter and get rid of the element of art in their being.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
As a working-class actor, leaving school with no qualifications, being a printer and then becoming an actor and then working with people who to a certain extent had had a leg up. I never had that advantage. It's less an artistic need to express myself and more a need to prove myself.
Eddie Marsan
Image
Calligraphy may well be simply an artistic version of another form, that is the ideograms which make up the poem, but then not only does it reflect the character and temperament of the artist but . . . also betrays his heart rate, his breathing.
Sijie Dai
Image
I think it would be great to make a $2 million or $3 million art movie where nobody would really have to go to it. I thought that would be a good project to work on . . . do something really artistic.
Andy Warhol
Image
When you're a kid with artistic yearnings brought up in the Bronx, you don't get fed up too easily.
Daniel Libeskind
