If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
John F. Kennedy
Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is the proper task of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his "divine service."
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one must stay awake all day.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When art dresses in worn-out material it is most easily recognized as art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
Socrates
Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.
Khalil Gibran
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.
Sylvia Plath
I never called my work an 'art' It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
Walt Disney
