“Writing is a bittersweet addiction. The more it drains you; the more replenished you feel, and you crave it even more.”
― Anthea Syrokou

“... when people are getting poorer, and children are growing more hungry and sick all around you, it is simply not enough for an artist to hide away somewhere, perfecting pictures of courtesans.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World

“I've also now been around enough people who have a low opinion of anyone who's creative in a non-professional realm to know that that's ugly and ignorant. People don't have to do things by half measure because they aren't getting paid for it. In fact, that's all the more reason to throw every ounce of passion you have behind it.”
― Anna Kendrick, Scrappy Little Nobody

“We artists are often counted as awkward by people who know nothing of how it feels to have another spirit live within you - the muse... Even some artists don't understand us, the mused ones, as our muses have faces and clearly appear to us, while all they have is the inspiration and not the muse. But ancient people knew of them... They said muses were goddesses and ruled upon the arts... It is true. When a muse forms into your mind and splits your spirit in two, you are already seized by it, controlled by it, and so you are bound to serve it and create masterpieces... It is not just we who create muses. They create us too. They form us into who we are.”
― Tamuna Tsertsvadze, Zodiac Circle

“The Magician makes the visible, invisible.
The Scientist makes the invisible, visible.
The Artist stands in between, indivisible.”
― Natasha Tsakos

“Live with art and art will live with you.”
― I. J. Jesuitas

“Describing the Arts to someone who had never tithed was as impossible as explaining an extra sense. The Arts tasted green, smelled like adrenaline, sounded cold.”
― Ellen Goodlett, Rule

“The hardest step in learning flamenco dance is the first one the student takes into the studio.”
― Edw. C, Youn

“The kingdom of God works in all spheres of culture, whether church, family, education, government, arts, business, or media. It is time to stop operating under the mindset that these spheres ought to be separated into secular and Christian, hoarding all the ‘sanctified spheresâ€� into the church, thereby leaving the world struggling in a vacuum of death. When we suck all the living water into the church, the world is left to die of thirst.”
― Karla Perry, Back to the Future

“The data on the economic utility of artists is really, really strong. Artists and entrepreneurs are the same people...and of course entrepreneurs are the people who provide all of the vision for the entire capitalist system. They're absolutely necessary.
But conservatives tend to be so blind to art that they can't even see that the artists are the ones who drive the economy forward!”
― Jordan Peterson

“Everything was dragging me toward the arts; even the study of modern philosophy suggested that philosophy was nonsense.”
― Steve Martin, Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life

“The fine arts are one of the most sensitive mirrors of society and culture of which they are an important part. What society and culture are, such will their fine arts be. If the culture is predominantly sensate, sensate also will be its dominant fine arts. If the culture is unintegrated, chaotic and eclectic also will be its fine arts. Since contemporary Western culture is predominantly sensate, and since the crisis consists in the disintegration of its dominant supersystem, so the contemporary crisis in the fine arts must also exhibit a desintegration of the sensate form of our painting and sculpture, music, literature, drama and architecture.”
― Pitirim Sorokin

“Have you ever seen a really beautiful production of, say, The Cherry Orchard? Don't say you have. Nobody has. You may have seen 'inspired' productions, 'competent' productions, but never anything beautiful. Never one where Chekhov's talent is matched, nuance for nuance, idiosyncrasy for idiosyncrasy, by every soul on-stage. You worry hell out of me, Zooey. Forgive the pessimism, if not the sonority. But I know how much you demand from a thing, you little bastard. And I've had the hellish experience of sitting next to you at the theatre. I can so clearly see you demanding something from the performing arts that just isn't residual there. For heaven's sake, be careful.”
― J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

“Art is a necessity-an essential part of our enlightenment process. We cannot as a civilized society, regard ourselves as being enlightened without the arts”
― Ken Danby, Ken Danby

“Es que para admirar se necesita grandeza, aunque parezca paradójico.”
― Ernesto Sabato, Abaddón el Exterminador

“...[E]ntertainment differs from art in that it manufactures experiences that cause us to forget, whereas art is preoccupied with creating experiences that allow us to remember.”
― Ryan Muldowney and Jacob Muldowney

“Note to myself - It is time for me to start taking my guitar lessons. One of my neighbor's singing and guitar strumming skills are so cool that I can't stop marveling at the music wafting around here.”
― Avijeet Das

“Music fountains from purity, travels through serenity and dissolves with tranquility.”
― Vinod Varghese Antony

“There is no limit to what a person can do that has been inspired by the arts!”
― Editor, Fossil Mountain Publishing

“In art, music, and writing, if it's not of the heart, it means nothing.”
― Terry a O'Neal

“Art is the medicine for the soul.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Film Testament

“The arts vividly illustrate the fact that neither words in their literal form nor numbers exhaust what we can know. The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition.”
― Rachelle Doorley, Tinkerlab: A Hands-On Guide for Little Inventors

“There's no such thing as a flawed story; only flawed writers.”
― Iimani David

“People who don't love the arts are missing out on the real happiness of life.”
― Avijeet Das

“The question that we need to ask about the future is: can robots understand and appreciate the arts?”
― Avijeet Das

“She did draw and paint and did both diligently, but possessed modest talent. She didn't mind. Her gift and passion lay in the observation and recognition of talent and beauty, whether it was found in the work of an Italian master or the profile of a viscount-to-be.”
― Julie Anne Long, What I Did for a Duke

“The art of the good art is to reach the beyond of the beyond!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“If art were everything, it would be a good evil, a worthless treasure, a virtuous vice, a healthy sickness, and a meaningful meaninglessness.”
― Ryan Muldowney and Jacob Muldowney

“Because most art relies upon sensorial cues, most art is a manifestation of empiricism. The senses form the tools that allow both the artist and the scientist to understand the nature of their subject. Observable data, and the interpretation of that observable data, is as fundamental to an artist as it is to a scientist.”
― Ryan Muldowney and Jacob Muldowney

“Art has a way of expressing the thoughts, feelings, and events of the artist. Some paintings show things as simple as merry childhood memories while others have the complexity of inner strife and pain. Whatever the art, there will always be a meaning.”
― Tori Easter, Max Lightning and the Historic Mystery
