Art Life Quotes

Art in relation to life is nothing more than a glove turned inside out. It seems to have the same shapes and contours, but it can never be used for the same purpose. Art teaches nothing about life, just as life teaches us nothing about art. Morton Feldman
Bruce Willis quote: "Art imitates life and, sometimes, life imitates art. It's a..."
Art imitates life and, sometimes, life imitates art. It's a weird combination of elements. Bruce Willis
Oscar Wilde quote: "Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life."
Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life. Oscar Wilde
Yoko Ono quote: "Art is my life and my life is art."
Art is my life and my life is art. Yoko Ono
Art Is a Way Out. Do not let life overwhelm you. When the old paths are choked with the dbris of failure, look for newer and fresher paths. Art is just such a path. Art is distilled from suffering. Nathanael West
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself. Henry Miller
Life is painful. It has thorns, like the stem of a rose. Culture and art are the roses that bloom on the stem. The flower is yourself, your humanity. Art is the liberation of the humanity inside yourself. Daisaku Ikeda
Art breaks open a dimension inaccessible to other experience, a dimension in which human beings, nature, and things no longer stand under the law of the established reality principle...The encounter with the truth of art happens in the estranging language and images which make perceptible, visible, and audible that which is no longer, or not yet, perceived, said, and heard in everyday life. Herbert Marcuse
Art thou afeard. To be the same in thine own act and valour. As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that. Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'Like the poor cat i' the adage? William Shakespeare
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "Art is action. The way I live my life to its highest degree is..."
Art is action. The way I live my life to its highest degree is by writing, the practice of art. Ursula K. Le Guin
Margaret Fuller quote: "Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward..."
Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life. Margaret Fuller
Art has two constant, two unending concerns: It always meditates on death and thus always creates life. All great, genuine art resembles and continues the Revelation of St John. Boris Pasternak
Harry S. Truman quote: "Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art."
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art. Harry S. Truman
Maya Angelou quote: "Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the..."
Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art. Maya Angelou
Art has always been my salvation. And my gods are Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson, Mozart. I believe in them with all my heart. And when Mozart is playing in my room, I am in conjunction with something I can’t explain — I don’t need to. I know that if there’s a purpose for life, it was for me to hear Mozart. Or if I walk in the woods and I see an animal, the purpose of my life was to see that animal. I can recollect it, I can notice it. I’m here to take note of. And that is beyond my ego,... Maurice Sendak
