Artistic Quotes (page 36)

The reason you might choose to embrace the artist within you now is that this is the path to (cue the ironic music) security. Seth Godin
Henry Ward Beecher quote: "Every artist dips his brush into his own soul."
Every artist dips his brush into his own soul. Henry Ward Beecher
Robert Henri quote: "I have heard it very often said that an artist does not need..."

Another year is fast approaching. Go be that starving artist you’re afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not born here to work and pay taxes. You were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what’s on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world. Jason Mraz
Dr. Ambrose himself told Mark Nechtr...that the problem with young people, starting sometime in about the 1960s, is that they tend to live too intensely inside their own social moment, and thus tend to see all existence past age thirty or so as somehow postcoital. It's then that they'll relax, settle back, sad animals, to watch- and learn, as Ambrose himself said he learned from hard artistic and academic experience- that life instead of being rated a hard R, or even a soft R, actually rarely... David Foster Wallace
One thing that most comic artists avoid is showing decisions. They show action, sure, and they show results, but they don’t show (because it’s difficult to show) the hero or the villain making a choice. Seth Godin
Pegi just recorded "I Don't Want to Talk About," written by Danny Whitten, the original Crazy Horse guitar player and singer who's all over Early Daze, an album of songs from the beginning of Crazy Horse that I have been working on compiling recently. Danny was every bit the artist I am, but he died of a heroin OD in the early seventies. Every time I hear Pegi sing that song, it makes me tremendously sad. She sings it so beautifully, phrasing it to break my heart. She does it justice. You... Neil Young
Out of the cacophony of random suffering and chaos that can mark human life, the life artist sees or creates a symphony of meaning and order. A life of wholeness does not depend on what we experience. Wholeness depends on how we experience our lives. Desmond Tutu
Woody Allen quote: "The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an..."
The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence. Woody Allen
Robert Hughes quote: "The greater the artist, the greater the doubt."
The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Robert Hughes
You don't have to make something that people call art. Living is an artistic activity, there is an art to getting through the day. Viggo Mortensen
Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do. As quoted in Questions to an Artist Who Is Also an Author : A Conversation between Maurice Sendak and Virginia Haviland (1972) by Virginia Haviland Maurice Sendak
I want to marry you, Malda - because I love you - because you are young and strong and beautiful - because you are wild and sweet and - fragrant, and - elusive, like the wild flowers you love. Because you are so truly an artist in your special way, seeing beauty and giving it to others. I love you because of all of this, because you are rational and highminded and capable of friendship - and in spite of your cooking? Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Austrian public-opinion pollsters recently reported that those held in highest esteem by most of the people interviewed are neither the great artists nor the great scientists, neither the great statesmen nor the great sport figures, but those who master a hard lot with their heads held high. Viktor E. Frankl
Henry Miller quote: "Sometimes I think I'm an artist. Once in a great while I even..."
Sometimes I think I'm an artist. Once in a great while I even think I may be a visionary, but never a prophet, a seer. Henry Miller
