Peter Drucker quote: "Strategy is a commodity, execution is an art."
Strategy is a commodity, execution is an art. Peter Drucker
The Mona Lisa, the Mona Lisa....Leonardo had eye trouble....Art couldn't explain it....But now we're safe, since science can explain it. Maybe Milton wrote Paradise Lost because he was blind? And Beethoven wrote the Ninth Symphony because he was deaf... William Gaddis
The arts of power and its minions are the same in all countries and in all ages. It marks its victim; denounces it; and excites the public odium and the public hatred, to conceal its own abuses and encroachments. Henry Clay
My God, my aim and my fulfillment; I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am they root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun. Khalil Gibran

The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being. Wassily Kandinsky
Should God create another Eve, and IAnother Rib afford, yet loss of thee. Would never from my heart; no no, I feel. The Link of Nature draw me: Flesh of Flesh, Bone of my Bone thou art, and from thy State. Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe. John Milton
Alexander Pope quote: "True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move..."
True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance. Alexander Pope
an author should never conceive himself as bringing into existence beauty or wisdom which did not exist before, but simply and solely as trying to embody in terms of his own art some reflection of eternal Beauty and Wisdom. C. S. Lewis

The art of writing is mysterious, the opinions we hold are ephemeral.... Jorge Luis Borges
I recall an August afternoon in Chicago in 1973 when I took my daughter, then seven, to see what Georgia O’Keeffe had done with where she had been. One of the vast O’Keeffe ‘Sky Above Clouds’ canvases floated over the back stairs in the Chicago Art Institute that day, dominating what seemed to be several stories of empty light, and my daughter looked at it once, ran to the landing, and kept on looking. "Who drew it," she whispered after a while. I told her. "I need to talk to her," she said... Joan Didion
Philosophy, for Plato, is a kind of vision, the 'vision of truth'...Everyone who has done any kind of creative work has experienced, in a greater or less degree, the state of mind in which, after long labour, truth or beauty appears, or seems to appear, in a sudden glory - it may only be about some small matter, or it may be about the universe. I think that most of the best creative work, in art, in science, in literature, and in philosophy, has been a result of just such a moment. Bertrand Russell
John Donne quote: "but come bad chance. And wee joyne to it our strength. And wee..."
...but come bad chance. And wee joyne to it our strength. And wee teach it art and length. It selfe o'er us to advance. John Donne
Who would not spout the family teapot in order to talk with Keats for an hour about poetry, or with Jane Austen about the art of fiction? Virginia Woolf
Oscar Wilde quote: "When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists..."
When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money. Oscar Wilde
