Artist Quotes (page 11)

I learned three things in Zurich during the war. I wrote them down. Firstly, you’re either a revolutionary or you’re not, and if you’re not you might as well be an artist as anything else. Secondly, if you can’t be an artist, you might as well be a revolutionary... I forget the third thing. Tom Stoppard
Dogmatism of all kinds--scientific, economic, moral, as well as political--are threatened by the creative freedom of the artist. This is necessarily and inevitably so. We cannot escape our anxiety over the fact that the artists together with creative persons of all sorts, are the possible destroyer of our nicely ordered systems. (p. 76) Rollo May
What the self-styled modern artists are doing is a sort of unemotional pseudo-intellectual masturabtion? whereas creative art is more like intercourse, in which the artist must seduce -- render emotional -- his audience, each time. Yevgeny Zamyatin
Julia Cameron quote: "Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse."
Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse. Julia Cameron
It is all too easy as an artist to allow the shape of our career to be dictated to us by others. We can so easily wait to be chosen. Such passivity invites despair. To remain healthy and vital, artists must stay proactive in their own behalf. Julia Cameron
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things. Oscar Wilde
Who but the artist has the power to open man up, to set free the imagination? The others - priest, teacher, saint, statesman, warrior - hold us to the path of history. They keep us chained to the rock, that the vultures may eat out our hearts. It is the artist who has the courage to go against the crowd; he is the unrecognized "hero of our time" - and of all time. Henry Miller
Giacomo Meyerbeer quote: "Preserve my artistic creativity and ennoble my artistic fame."
Preserve my artistic creativity and ennoble my artistic fame. Giacomo Meyerbeer
The artist deals in what cannot be said in words. The artist whose medium is fiction does this in words. The novelist says in words what cannot be said in words. Ursula K. Le Guin
She encouraged any artistic impulse I had, and my father discouraged any artistic impulse I had. They took out their problems with each other on me and my sister. Bill Griffith
For hundreds of years people have talked about artists having inspiration, but often, some persons would say, write us a symphony or write us a song, on commission. The artists would come up with a masterpiece without waiting to have their muse inspire them. Tom Glazer
Andre Gide quote: "Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the..."
Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. Andre Gide
Andre Gide quote: "Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the..."
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. Andre Gide
In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist's obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession. Alberto Giacometti
Jose Ortega y Gasset quote: "Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very..."
Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset
