Artistic Quotes (page 44)

Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "The Artist always has the masters in his eyes."
The Artist always has the masters in his eyes. Ralph Waldo Emerson
All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up. James Baldwin
Queen Victoria quote: "Beware of artists. They mix with all classes of society and..."
Beware of artists. They mix with all classes of society and are therefore most dangerous.? Queen Victoria Queen Victoria
Nick Cave quote: "I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to..."
I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed. Nick Cave
John: 'I think the music reflects the state that the society is in. It doesn't suggest the state. I think the poets and musicians and artists are of the age - not only do they lead the age on, but they also reflect that age. [...] Like The Beatles. We came out of Liverpool and we reflected our background and we reflected our thoughts in what we sang, and that's all people are doing. John Lennon
When I was a child, my mother said: "If you will be a priest, you will be pope; if you become a soldier, you will be a general." Instead, I became an artist, and so became Picasso. Pablo Picasso
As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a confusion, or a freedom. Jasper Johns
Bursts of gold on lavender melting into saffron. It's the time of day when the sky looks like it has been spray-painted by a graffiti artist. Mia Kirshner
For the artist, the color, the bouquet, the tinkling of the spoon on the saucer, are things in the highest degree. He stops at the quality of the sound or the form. He returns to it constantly and is enchanted with it. Jean-Paul Sartre
Jakob Hlasek is six foot two and built like a halfback, his blond hair in a short square Eastern European cut, with icy eyes and cheekbones out to here: He looks like either a Nazi male model or a lifeguard in hell and seems in general just way too scary ever to try to talk to. His backhand is a one-hander, rather like Ivan Lendl’s, and watching him practice it is like watching a great artist casually sketch something. I keep having to remember to blink. David Foster Wallace
She has form," he said to himself, as he walked away through the grove - "that cannot be denied to her; but has she got feeling? I am afraid not. In fact, she is like most artists; she is all style, without any sincerity. She would not sacrifice herself for others. She thinks merely of music, and everybody knows that arts are selfish. Still, it must be admitted that she has some beautiful notes in her voice. What a pity it is that they do not mean anything, or do any practical good. Oscar Wilde
If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward. Oscar Wilde
Why are millions spent on the war each day, while not a penny is available for ... artists or the poor? Why do people have to starve when mountians of food are rotting away in other parts of the world? Oh, why are people so crazy? Anne Frank
T. S. Eliot quote: "No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone."
No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. T. S. Eliot
Steve Jobs quote: "Real artists ship."
Real artists ship. Steve Jobs
