| Paradoxically though it may seem, it is
none the less true that life imitates art far more than
art imitates life.
Oscar Wilde
White. A blank page or canvas. So many possibilities.
Stephen Sondhiem
Ars Longa, Vita Brevis - Art (is) Long, Life
(is) Short.
Hippocrates
I think most artists create out of despair.
The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on
the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.
Louise Nevelson
Every child is an artist, the problem is
how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the
line somewhere.
G.K. Chesterton
No artist is ahead of his time. He is his
time. It is just that the others are behind the time.
Martha Graham
Great artists are people who find the way
to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces
mediocrity in art and life alike.
Margot Fonteyn
Art is not living. It is a use of living.
The artist has the ability to take that living and use it
in a certain way, and produce art.
Audre Lorde
Artistic creativity is a whirlpool of imagination
that swirls in the depths of the mind.
Robert Toth
I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon
my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
Albert Einstein
The artist is nothing without the gift, but
the ift is nothing without work.
Emile Zola
Art is born in attention. Its midwife is
detail.
Julia Cameron
As artists, we must learn to be self-nourishing.
We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our
creative resources as we draw on them.
Julia Cameron
Surely all art is the result of one's having
been in danger, of having gone through an experience all
the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
Rainer Maria Rilke
