High Art Quotes

"But that's the price we have to pay for stability. You've got to choose between happiness and what people used to call high art. We've sacrificed the high art. Aldous Huxley
I believe in God, Mozart and Beethoven, and likewise their disciples and apostles; - I believe in the Holy Spirit and the truth of the one, indivisible Art; - I believe that this Art proceeds from God, and lives within the hearts of all illumined men; - I believe that he who once has bathed in the sublime delights of this high Art, is consecrate to Her for ever, and never can deny Her; - I believe that through Art all men are saved. Richard Wagner
The novel is the first art form that is an honest-to-god commodity. That's what makes it different from both high art and folk art. Leslie Fiedler
O. Henry quote: "Greenwich Village... the village of low rents and high arts."
Greenwich Village... the village of low rents and high arts. O. Henry
There is a line somewhere in Wozzeck that translates out to, roughly, 'The world is awful.' Yes, I said to myself as I shot across the Bay Bridge not giving a fuck how fast I drove, that sums it up. That is high art: 'The world is awful.' That says it all. This is what we pay composers and painters and the great writers to do: tell us this; from figuring this out, they earn a living. What a masterful, incisive insight. What penetrating intelligence. A rat in a drain ditch could tell you the... Philip K. Dick
In my twenties if even a tenth reading of Mallarm failed to yield up its treasures, the fault was mine, not his. If my eyes swooned shut while I read The Sweet Cheat Gone, Proust’s pacing was never called into question, just my intelligence and dedication and sensitivity.

I still admire what is difficult, though I now recognize it as a “period” taste and that my generation was the last to give a damn. Though we were... Edmund White
Aldous Huxley quote: "You’ve got to choose between happiness and what people used to..."
You’ve got to choose between happiness and what people used to call high art. Aldous Huxley
So I was in America and I thought I'll stick around while I'm here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy. Radha Mitchell
Edward Tufte quote: "The leading edge in evidence presentation is in science; the..."

Mario Batali quote: "There's a battle between what the cook thinks is high art and..."

But really, it was reading that led me to writing. And in particular, reading the American classics like Twain who taught me at an early age that ordinary lives of ordinary people can be made into high art. Russell Banks
Art is central to all our lives, not just the better-off and educated. . . I know that from my own story, and from the evidence of every child ever born? they all want to hear and to tell stories, to sing, to make music, to act out little dramas, to paint pictures, to make sculptures. This is born in and we breed it out. And then, when we have bred it out, we say that art is elitist, and at the same time we either fetishize art? the high prices, the jargon, the inaccessibility? or we ignore... Jeanette Winterson
Goldwin Smith quote: "Art is expression, and to have high expression you must have..."
Art is expression, and to have high expression you must have something high to express. Goldwin Smith
High standards generally -- about workmanship and creation of objects, about what is owed in friendship, about the quality of art and much else -- far from being snobbish, are required to maintain decency in life. Joseph Epstein

Art imitates life. Life imitates high school. Brad Holland
