Carambano Art Quotes

Writing becomes a form of protest against the incontestable ravages of time. The poet takes revenge on mortality, defeating cruelty and saving what she can by thinking the unthinkable and presiding over her own creation. The joy of writing stands against the bitter knowledge of just how much of the world cannot be controlled outside the work of art. This is the art of poetry trying to kill time. Probably ~ Edward Hirsch

A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual. ~ Vladimir Nabokov

The modern naturalist must realize that in some of its branches his profession, while more than ever a science, has also become an art. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Parks are works of art just as a painting or sculpture is. ~ Thomas Hoving

War is the common harvest of all those who participate in the division and expenditure of public money, in all countries. It is the art of conquering at home; the object of it is an increase of revenue; and as revenue cannot be increased without taxes, a pretence must be made for expenditure. ~ Thomas Paine

We're built to deal with death, disease, failure, struggle, heartbreak, problems. It's what separates us from the animals and why we envy and love animals so much. We're aware of it all and have to process it. The way we each handle being human is where all the good stories, jokes, art, wisdom, revelations, and bullshit come from. ~ Marc Maron

There are risks in the sheer brevity of Twitter, and it's actually quite an elegant art reducing what you have to say to 140 characters, and it's something that I quite enjoy attempting to do. ~ Richard Dawkins

I think anything like that-
which is contemplative, silent, shows a person alone-
people always feel sad. Is it because we've lost the art of being alone? ~ Andrew Wyeth

Art is not an amusement, nor a distraction, nor is it, as many men maintain, an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a high training of the soul, essential to the soul's growth, to its unfoldment. ~ Lawren Harris

Life is not always deep, mostly it's just random. But it's different in art. In art you can choose to show some things and hide others. And suddenly there's meaning to find in the chaos. ~ Oren Lavie

Art that imposes conditions - human or otherwise - on the receiver for its appreciation in my eyes constitutes aesthetic fascism. ~ Lawrence Weiner

Art collecting has traditionally been the domain of wealthy individuals in search of rewards beyond the purely financial. ~ James Surowiecki

This Catholic thing, I think what it does is it makes a place for mystery in a person. And even when the faith goes away, there's that space where you crave something bigger than yourself. For me, that's kind of where art came in, after that. ~ Susan Sarandon

Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee! ~ Seneca The Younger

The true art of memory, is the art of attention ~ Samuel Johnson

I get to sing and act and write and create and produce for a living and share art with people, and I feel like a piece of that is in honor of those who came before me. ~ Aaron Lazar

What is the use of composing if it is to confine the product within the precinct of the concert or the solitude of listening to the radio? To compose, at least by propensity, is to give to do, not to give to hear but to give to write. The modern location for music is not the concert hall, but the stage on which the musicians pass, in what is often a dazzling display, from one source of sound to another. It is we who are playing, though still it is true by proxy; but one can imagine the concert - later on? - as exclusively a workshop, from which nothing spills over - no dream, no imaginary, no short, no 'soul' and where all the musical art is absorbed in a praxis with no remainder. ~ Roland Barthes

Live, share and learn the art of true deep listening.
The main keys are honesty and humility.
Cultivate good filters in the mind.
Conquer and tame the ego.
If words and actions pass from your lips, sights and tapping words in the keyboard, don't forget to ask first,
Is it true, necessary and kind? ~ Angelica Hopes

Music stands in a much closer connection with pure sensation than any of the other arts. ~ Hermann Von Helmholtz

Art is possible only if man is different from nature, if man is a stranger in it--that is, if he is a personality. All art is a continuous story of man's foreignness in nature. ~ Alija Izetbegovic

The cult of art gives pride; one never has too much of it. ~ Gustave Flaubert

It is my hope that photography may fall in line with all the other arts and with her infinite possibilities, do things strange and more fascinating than the most fantastic dreams. ~ Alvin Langdon Coburn

I don't think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it's certainly worth a try. ~ Steven Spielberg

Romance can end, but I don't think art really ends, as romantic as that might sound. ~ Stew

I don't believe in art like I used to. I believe in something beyond it, something that contains art and everything else. But I just don't quite have the nerve to chuck drawing and painting. Part of it is that I enjoy it too much, and part is that I don't have the courage to renounce the world. I don't want to move out of this nice neighborhood so that I can live in a shed and devote myself to meditating and touching something I can't feel. I'm addicted to the fun of playing in the world. ~ Jim Woodring

There hasn't been any art yet. Art is just beginning. ~ Constantin Brancusi

I get it now. Why Noah put that art room together for Allie. It wasn't because he was a vagina; it was because he didn't have a choice. She was it for him. No matter what he did, there was never gonna be anyone but her. So all he could do was set up the room and hope to God that one day she'd show up to use it. And that pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about you. So I did this - " I gesture around the room " - because I want you in my life, Kate. Permanently. ~ Emma Chase

"We may talk what we please," he cries in his enthusiasm for the oldest of the arts, "of lilies, and lions rampant, and spread eagles, in fields d'or or d'argent; but, if heraldry were guided by reason, a plough in a field arable would be the most noble and ancient arms." ~ Abraham Cowley

I believe in the city as a natural human environment, but we must humanize it. It's art that will re-define public space in the 21st Century. We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art, dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life. ~ Antony Gormley

It ought to be illegal for an artist to marry. If the artist must marry let him find someone more interested in art, or his art, or the artist part of him, than in him. After which let them take tea together three times a week. ~ Ezra Pound

I've had cameras on me since I started the art of fighting and I think that I'm used to having cameras on me in adrenaline-type situations. ~ Gina Carano

A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection ~ Michelangelo

Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art. ~ Jet Li

I've been trying to make this argument that digital comics and print comics are both art, but there are subtle differences. ~ Jim Lee

...emotions fly humans toward art ~ Rachel Hartman

In a society that is essentially designed to organize, direct, and gratify mass impulses, what is there to minister to the silent zones of man as an individual? Religion? Art? Nature? No, the church has turned religion into standardized public spectacle, and the museum has done the same for art. The Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls have been looked at so much that they've become effete, sucked empty by too many stupid eyes. What is there to minister to the silent zones of man as an individual? How about a cold chicken bone on a paper plate at midnight, how about a lurid lipstick lengthening or shortening at your command, how about a Styrofoam nest abandoned by a 'bird' you've never known, how about a pair of windshield wipers pursuing one another futilely while you drive home alone through a downpour, how about something beneath a seat touched by your shoe at the movies, how about worn pencils, cute forks, fat little radios, boxes of bow ties, and bubbles on the side of a bathtub? Yes, these are the things, these kite strings and olive oil cans and Valentine hearts stuffed with nougat, that form the bond between the autistic vision and the experiential world, it is to show these things in their true mysterious light that is the purpose of the moon. ~ Tom Robbins

I see things like they've never been seen before. Art is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made. ~ Robert Mapplethorpe

A house, having been willfully purchased and furnished, tells us more than a body, and its description is a foremost resource of the art of fiction. ~ John Updike
