I do not fear that "future generations will not read novels," etc. It is probably a complete misunderstanding to conceive of serious art in categories of production, market, readers, supply and demand( ... )art is not the fabrication of stories for readers but a spiritual cohabitation, something so tense and so separate from science, even contradictory to it, that there can be no competition between them. If someone fine, dignified, prolific, brilliant (this is how one ought to speak of artists this is the language art demands) is born in the future, if someone unique and unrepeatable is born, a Bach, a Rembrandt, then he will win people over, charm and seduce them ... ~ Witold Gombrowicz
Language Art quotes by Witold Gombrowicz
In all the Kalahari Desert, only six true hunters remained. The renegades agreed to let Louis hang around, an offer he took to the extreme; once installed, Louis acted like an unemployed in-law, basically squatting with the Bushmen for the next four years ... He learned to keep his campfire burning and tent zipped even on the most sweltering nights, since packs of hyenas were known to drag people from open shelters and tear out their throats. He leaned that if you stumble upon an angry lioness and her cubs, you stand tall and make her back down, but in the same situation with a rhino, you run like hell. (p. 234) Know why people run marathons? he said ... Because running is rooted in our collective imagination, and our imagination is rooted in running. Language, art, science; space shuttles ... intravascular surgery, they all had their roots in our ability to run. Running was the superpower that made us human- which means it's a superpower all humans possess. (p. 239) ~ Christopher McDougall
Language Art quotes by Christopher McDougall
The language of art is celestial in origin and can only be understood by the chosen. ~ El Greco
Language Art quotes by El Greco
The real art is not to come up with extraordinary clever words but to make ordinary simple words do extraordinary things. To use the language that we all use and to make amazing things occur. ~ Graham Swift
Language Art quotes by Graham Swift
Poetry is an art practiced with the terribly plastic material of human language. ~ Carl Sandburg
Language Art quotes by Carl Sandburg
Know why people run marathons? he told Dr. Bramble. Because running is rooted in our collective imagination, and our imagination is rooted in running. Language, art, science; space shuttles, Starry Night, intravascular surgery; they all had their roots in our ability to run. Running was the superpower that made us human - which means it's a superpower all humans possess. ~ Christopher McDougall
Language Art quotes by Christopher McDougall
Language is the alchemy of transforming a thought into a word, and the word into a new reality. ~ Jennifer Sodini
Language Art quotes by Jennifer Sodini
Art is a language, an instrument of knowledge, an instrument of communication. ~ Jean Dubuffet
Language Art quotes by Jean Dubuffet
The very large brain that humans have, plus the things that go along with it - language, art, science - seemed to have evolved only once. The eye, by contrast, independently evolved 40 times. So, if you were to 'replay' evolution, the eye would almost certainly appear again, whereas the big brain probably wouldn't. ~ Richard Dawkins
Language Art quotes by Richard Dawkins
Good art has everything you need to know about it in the work, not on a wall label. Art is here to take us beyond language. ~ Walter Darby Bannard
Language Art quotes by Walter Darby Bannard
Journalism students need to understand it and need a solid background in the liberal arts, in sociology, economics, literature and language, because they won't get it later on. ~ Harrison Salisbury
Language Art quotes by Harrison Salisbury
Visual art is a foreign language I'm fluent at, but my native language is language. ~ Julia Glass
Language Art quotes by Julia Glass
Mind thinks in images but, to communicate with another, must transform image into thought and then thought into language. That march, from image to thought to language, is treacherous. Casualties occur: the rich, fleecy texture of image, its extraordinary plasticity and flexibility, its private nostalgic emotional hues - all are lost when image is crammed into language. ~ Irvin D. Yalom
Language Art quotes by Irvin D. Yalom
No heirloom of humankind captures the past as do art and language. ~ Theodore Bikel
Language Art quotes by Theodore Bikel
Art is communication spoken by man for humanity in a language raised above the everyday happening. ~ Mary Wigman
Language Art quotes by Mary Wigman
I heard someone say he [Carl Sandburg] was the kind of writer who had everything to gain and nothing to lose by being translated into another language. ~ Robert Frost
Language Art quotes by Robert Frost
Poetry is the art of using language to transcend language. ~ Laurence Overmire
Language Art quotes by Laurence Overmire
In French culture, the best way of buying time or getting off the hook entirely in a thorny personal situation is to claim that it's complicated. The French did not invent love, but they did invent romance, so they've had more time than any other culture on earth to refine the nuances of its language. ~ Mark Zero
Language Art quotes by Mark Zero
As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language. ~ Pablo Picasso
Language Art quotes by Pablo Picasso
Know why people run marathons? ... Because running is rooted in our collective imagination, and our imagination is rooted in running. Language, art, science; space shuttles, Starry Night, intravascular surgery; they all had their roots in our ability to run. Running was the superpower that made us human - which means its a superpower all humans posses. ~ Christopher McDougall
Language Art quotes by Christopher McDougall
Visible being is natural...But language, art, history gravitate around the invisible (ideality). ~ Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Language Art quotes by Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Yankees don't understand that the Southern way of talking is a language of nuance. What we can do in the South is we can take a word and change it just a little bit and make it mean something altogether different. ~ Lewis Grizzard
Language Art quotes by Lewis Grizzard
(Jean) Fautrier's exhibition (in Paris 1945,fh) made an extremely strong impression on me. Art had never before appeared so fully realised in its pure state. The word 'art' had never before been so loaded with meaning for me. ~ Jean Dubuffet
Language Art quotes by Jean Dubuffet
I don't think that art, if it's isolated and specialized, can really create culture. It needs a cult. ~ Ernst Fuchs
Language Art quotes by Ernst Fuchs
We weren't idealistic about much, we children of the 1950s, but we were certainly idealistic about art. We went into it with the highest kind of ambition - not to get rich or to impress women, but to make our mark as Proust and Joyce had made their mark. ~ John Updike
Language Art quotes by John Updike
Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art. ~ Kurt Cobain
Language Art quotes by Kurt Cobain
I don't know what the language of the year 2000 will look like, but I know it will be called Fortran. ~ Tony Hoare
Language Art quotes by Tony Hoare
I have no real training in the history of fine art or furniture; my eye just works by proportions. I react intuitively. In London, it's all about color because the weather is so gray, and in that cold light they look beautiful. ~ Mario Testino
Language Art quotes by Mario Testino
I hope and dream the time will come when serious artists will make marvelous pictures that will love and live in life-like manner and be far more interesting and wonderful than pictures you now see on canvas. I think if Michelangelo was alive today he would immediately see the wonders ... The artist can make his scenes and characters live instead of stand still on canvas in art museums. ~ Winsor McCay
Language Art quotes by Winsor McCay
For the multiculturist/diversity crowd, culture, ideas, customs, arts and skills are a matter of racial membership where one has no more control over his culture than his race. That's a racist idea, but it's politically correct racism. It says that one's convictions, character and values are not determined by personal judgment and choices but genetically determined. In other words, as yesteryear's racists held: race determines identity. ~ Walter E. Williams
Language Art quotes by Walter E. Williams
Poetry is the universal art of the spirit which has become free in itself and which is not tied down for its realization to external sensuous material; instead, it launches out exclusively in the inner space and the inner time of ideas and feelings. ~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Language Art quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Lips, let sour words go by and language end:
What is amiss plague and infection mend!
Graves only be men's works and death their gain!
Sun, hide thy beams! Timon hath done his reign. ~ William Shakespeare
Language Art quotes by William Shakespeare
The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes. ~ Tony Blair
Language Art quotes by Tony Blair
The usual criticism of a novel about an artist is that, no matter how real he is as a man, he is not real to us as an artist, since we have to take on trust the works of art he produces. ~ Randall Jarrell
Language Art quotes by Randall Jarrell
i love art. to experience somebodys art is to be invited into a silent conversation they are having with themselves. ~ Jomny Sun
Language Art quotes by Jomny Sun
The systems they (the Arts) nourish, which include our integrated sensory, attentional, cognitive, emotional, and motor capacities, are, in fact, the driving forces behind all other learning. ~ Eric Jensen
Language Art quotes by Eric Jensen
Who made art history? Not the most reasonable people. The mad men did. If painting is the mirror of a time, it must be mad to have a true image of what that time is. To one madness we oppose another madness. ~ Max Ernst
Language Art quotes by Max Ernst
Usually, a well thought answer makes an aggressor think twice. ~ Helio Gracie
Language Art quotes by Helio Gracie
Should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a schoolbook? Its morals are pure, its examples are captivating and noble ... In no Book is there so good English, so pure and so elegant, and by teaching all the same they will speak alike, and the Bible will justly remain the standard of language as well as of faith. ~ Fisher Ames
Language Art quotes by Fisher Ames
Impressionism is not a movement, it is a philosophy of life. ~ Max Lieberman
Language Art quotes by Max Lieberman
Experiencing connecting with someone in a way so meaningful, it shared just how connected all we beings were through a variety of sources. Music. Books. Art. Movies. The tragedy was, most didn't recognize it and there were some of us with hate in their hearts about things they didn't understand who would refuse to acknowledge it. I ~ Kristen Ashley
Language Art quotes by Kristen Ashley
It has been my personal experience that as I allow the painting to speak I become lost, it is delicious and at the same time frightening. The best ones, to me, have a life of their own. ~ Luther E. Vann
Language Art quotes by Luther E. Vann
Sometimes you don't get the value of the art or the painting you buy. The value you get from it is on the wall and you're looking at it. It's the same with your car. You're using it, so it goes down in value but you've used it. ~ Lemar
Language Art quotes by Lemar
Art and science are made when people are terrified that they are going to die. (about "Arcadia" by Iain Pears) ~ Jen Campbell
Language Art quotes by Jen Campbell
The dogs came racing up the stairs. They danced at Rima's feet, frantic with the need to communicate something to her. Little Timmy's down the well! Feed us ice cream and potato chips! Sometimes there's a benefit to not sharing a language. ~ Karen Joy Fowler
Language Art quotes by Karen Joy Fowler
Christopher Lynch has made the best and the first careful translation of Machiavelli's Art of War. With useful notes, an excellent introduction, an interpretive essay, glossary, and index, it is a treasure for readers of military history and Renaissance thought as well as for lovers of Machiavelli. ~ Harvey Mansfield
Language Art quotes by Harvey Mansfield
Every second vibrates within our Present moment, our now. In one split second of awareness, we can create a Life full of Light, Joy, and Love. ~ Jacqueline Ripstein
Language Art quotes by Jacqueline Ripstein
You've heard poets talk about, poems flowing out of their bodies; painters, they get on a roll. You all have seen the musician, when they are in that state, the guitar, the piano, whatever instrument just becomes part of their body, their ego is completely gone and it is just their connection to the art, their connection to the emotions they are trying to share with the audience- that is pure flow. ~ Chase Jarvis
Language Art quotes by Chase Jarvis
The Barnes Foundation is the only sane place to see art in America. ~ Henri Matisse
Language Art quotes by Henri Matisse
Art is pattern informed by sensibility. ~ Herbert Read
Language Art quotes by Herbert Read
I like to be surrounded by books. My wife Evelyn has a Ph.D. in comparative literature, so we have a lot of her Spanish and German literature books which are wasted on me, plus a lot of novels and books on art and architecture shared by us both. Evelyn used to edit an art magazine called 'FMR,' so we have a common interest in design. ~ David Chipperfield
Language Art quotes by David Chipperfield
The best works of art are never innocuous: they alter the viewer's perceptual predictions. It is only when the patterns of our vision are disrupted that we truly pay attention and must ask ourselves what we are looking at. ~ Siri Hustvedt
Language Art quotes by Siri Hustvedt
God's careful instructions for building the tabernacle in Exodus 31 remind us that his perfection sets the standard for whatever we create in his name. Whatever we happen to make-not only in the visual arts, but in all the arts-we should make it as well as we can, offering God our very best. ~ Philip Graham Ryken
Language Art quotes by Philip Graham Ryken
At its best, SF cinema is an allegorical site that invites the audience to safely examine and reflect on long-standing social issues in an unfamiliar setting, providing the possibility of viewing them in a new light. At its worst, the process of allegorical displacement invites audiences to affirm racist ideas, confirm racial fears, and reinforce dubious generalizations about race and the place of African Americans in U.S. society without employing overt racial language or explicit imagery. ~ Adilifu Nama
Language Art quotes by Adilifu Nama
A man can be a hero if he is a scientist, or a soldier, or a drug addict, or a disc jockey, or a crummy mediocre politician. A man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is sensitive; or because he is cruel. Wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. Virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture
in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers. ~ Andrea Dworkin
Language Art quotes by Andrea Dworkin
Art is really people asking the eternal question, "What is it all about?" ~ Gene Roddenberry
Language Art quotes by Gene Roddenberry
Silence is never-ending speech. Vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. In silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. Language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another. Silence is ever speaking. ~ Ramana Maharshi
Language Art quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Business often does a good job supporting communities: the arts, universities, and scientific enterprises ... But that philosophy has rarely reached poor countries. Even businesses that are enlightened in their home bases see Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia as places to exploit natural resources or use cheap labor. ~ Jeffrey Sachs
Language Art quotes by Jeffrey Sachs
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenetrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties – this knowledge, this feeling … that is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men. ~ Albert Einstein
Language Art quotes by Albert Einstein
I look at words as if they were entities, sacred beings. There are words to which I tip my hat when I see them sitting on a page. ~ William Luce
Language Art quotes by William Luce
A Swedish physicist can not discuss his work with fifty people unless he goes abroad. A Swedish economist can get opinions and instructions in his native language from thousands upon thousands of his fellow citizens. ~ George Stigler
Language Art quotes by George Stigler
One of the unexpectedly important things that art can do for us is to teach us how to suffer more successfully. ~ Alain De Botton
Language Art quotes by Alain De Botton
I think it's always difficult to reconcile the needs of art and business. ~ Christian Lacroix
Language Art quotes by Christian Lacroix
For me, my faith dictates everything I do, so no matter what I'm saying in my art, my faith is the driver for that. That's what I'd encourage people to understand as they listen to my music. It's distinct. My worldview bleeds through my music. ~ LeCrae
Language Art quotes by LeCrae
Humans are a social species more than any other, and in order to build a community, which for some reason humans have to do in order to live, we have to solve the communication problem. Language is the tool that was invented to solve that problem. ~ Daniel Everett
Language Art quotes by Daniel Everett
I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc. ~ Howard Gardner
Language Art quotes by Howard Gardner
Our characteristic response to the mutilated statue, the bronze dug up from the earth, is revealing. It is not that we prefer time-worn bas-reliefs, or rusted statuettes as such, nor is it the vestiges of death that grip us in them, but those of life. Mutilation is the scar left by the struggle with Time, and a reminder of it - Time which is as much a part of ancient works of art as the material they are made of, and thrusts up through the fissures, from a dark underworld, where all is at once chaos and determinism. ~ Andre Malraux
Language Art quotes by Andre Malraux
Another explanation for the failure of logic and observation alone to advance medicine is that unlike, say, physics, which uses a form of logic - mathematics - as its natural language, biology does not lend itself to logic. Leo Szilard, a prominent physicist, made this point when he complained that after switching from physics to biology he never had a peaceful bath again. As a physicist he would soak in the warmth of a bathtub and contemplate a problem, turn it in his mind, reason his way through it. But once he became a biologist, he constantly had to climb out of the bathtub to look up a fact. ~ John M Barry
