For me, where genre ends and literature begins doesn't matter. What matters is whether a given novel hits me with high impact. If it does, it probably is fulfilling the purpose of fiction. It has drawn me into a story world, held me captive, taken me on a journey with characters like none I've ever met, revealed truths I've somehow always known and insights that rock my brain. It's filled me with awe, which is to say it's made me see the familiar in a wholly new way and made the unfamiliar a foundational part of me. It both entertains and matters. It both captures our age and becomes timelessly great. It does all that with the sturdy tools of story and the flair of narrative art. ~ Donald Maass
Narrative Art quotes by Donald Maass
You can't but know that if you can capture the emotions of the audience as well as their minds, the play will work better, because it's a narrative art form. ~ Tom Stoppard
Narrative Art quotes by Tom Stoppard
Some graphic narrative art presses against the panel: you wrestle with it at the level of the paper. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Narrative Art quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
The next time you feel yourself giving in to the sometimes overwhelming urge to panic about the fate of literature in the digital age, follow this simple remedy: remember that you dream. For that is ironclad proof ... that literature - that narrative art in whatever form - will never die. Humans, strange creatures that we are, make sense of our lives by telling stories. In the space between each day and the next, we refresh our minds by concocting the most fantastic and elaborate fictions. We spend roughly a third of our lives thus, re-arranging our scattered experiences into stories. That we do it at all is bizarre and inexplicable. But as long as we do it, we will crave stories - human stories, stories that speak to us - in our waking life. The Internet, powerful as it is, cannot change that. ~ Adam Hammond
Narrative Art quotes by Adam Hammond
What fiction and art can do, particularly narrative art, is construct consciousness - in a sense, we have to do it for the first time, every time. ~ Aleksandar Hemon
Narrative Art quotes by Aleksandar Hemon
The best way to truly understand narrative art is to experience it. ~ George Lucas
Narrative Art quotes by George Lucas
When a culture is being dumbed down as effectively as ours is, its narrative arts (literature, film, theatre) seem to vacillate between the brutal and the bland, sometimes in the same work. ~ Tom Robbins
Narrative Art quotes by Tom Robbins
Now the second common characteristic of fiction follows from this, and it is that fiction is presented in such a way that the reader has the sense that it is unfolding around him. This doesn't mean he has to identify himself with the character or feel compassion for the character or anything like that. It just means that fiction has to be largely presented rather than reported. Another way to say it is that though fiction is a narrative art, it relies heavily on the element of drama. ~ Flannery O'Connor
Narrative Art quotes by Flannery O'Connor
Art - when it is really doing what it should do - teaches abstract thinking; it teaches teamwork; it teaches people to actually think about things that they cannot see. ~ Bill T. Jones
Narrative Art quotes by Bill T. Jones
Politics is the art of the possible; creativity is the art of the impossible. ~ Ben Okri
Narrative Art quotes by Ben Okri
We were all trapped in stories, she said, just as he used to say, his wavy hair, his naughty smile, his beautiful mind, each of us the prisoner of our own solipsistic narrative, each family the captive of the family story, each community locked within its own tale of itself, each people the victims of their own versions of history, and there were parts of the world where the narratives collided and went to war, where there were two or more incompatible stories fighting for space on, to speak, the same page. ~ Salman Rushdie
Narrative Art quotes by Salman Rushdie
Engineering is not a science. Science studies particular events to find general laws. Engineering design makes use of the laws to solve particular practical problems. In this it is more closely related to art or craft. ~ Ove Arup
Narrative Art quotes by Ove Arup
Art is an act of love in likeness of itself Spirit moulding matter into lovely form
~ Francis Brabazon
Narrative Art quotes by Francis Brabazon
What the art historians had forgotten is that in Chinese, Japanese, Persian, and Indian art, they never painted shadows. Why did they paint shadows in European art? Shadows are because of optics. Optics need shadows and strong light. Strong light makes the deepest shadows. It took me a few years to realize fully that the art historians didn't grasp that. There are a lot of interesting new things, ideas, pictures. ~ David Hockney
Narrative Art quotes by David Hockney
He had liked to listen to the exotic (to a Belsey) chatter of business and money and practical politics; to hear that Equality was a myth, and Multiculturalism was a fatuous dream; he thrilled at the suggestion that Art was a gift from God, blessing only a handful of masters, and most Literature merely a veil for poorly reasoned left-wing ideologies. ~ Zadie Smith
Narrative Art quotes by Zadie Smith
Much of what was to become modern art and the changed concept of the function of museums was spurred by a cadre of women on the East Coast who changed the face of American museums. Women like Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (Whitney Museum of American Art), Lillie Bliss (Museum of Modern Art), and Abby Rockefeller (Museum of Modern Art), contributed their significant influence, wealth, and tireless enthusiasm to promoting contemporary art and artists. ~ Ivy Hendy
Narrative Art quotes by Ivy Hendy
Through [my friends] I discovered what it was to love people. There was an art to it ... which was not really all that different from the love that is necessary in the making of art. It required the effort of always seeing them for themselves and not as I wished them to be ... ~ Lucy Grealy
Narrative Art quotes by Lucy Grealy
The art of drawing is the art of omission. ~ Max Liebermann
Narrative Art quotes by Max Liebermann
Great art can only be created out of love. ~ James A. Baldwin
Narrative Art quotes by James A. Baldwin
I went to art school and never thought I'd be a musician, but then punk rock came along in the late 70s and kind of ruined my life. So I quit art school to get involved in music and I've been doing it ever since. ~ Michael Gira
Narrative Art quotes by Michael Gira
I know it's very egocentric to believe that someone is put on Earth for a reason. In my case, I like to think I was. ~ Art Buchwald
Narrative Art quotes by Art Buchwald
Diplomacy means the art of nearly deceiving all your friends, but not quite deceiving all your enemies. ~ Kofi Abrefa Busia
Narrative Art quotes by Kofi Abrefa Busia
We talk too much. We should talk less and draw more. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Narrative Art quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
A work of art expresses itself as a balance sheet pitting the spoken against the unspoken. ~ Russell Sherman
Narrative Art quotes by Russell Sherman
The painter knew that color was not something you controlled but something you set free. He believed that color knew its way home. ~ Thomas Lloyd Qualls
Narrative Art quotes by Thomas Lloyd Qualls
The idea of the person enters poetics where art and reality, or intentionality and circumstance, meet. ~ Lyn Hejinian
Narrative Art quotes by Lyn Hejinian
Women talk about love. From girlhood on, we learn that conversations about love are a gendered narrative, a female subject ... Femaleness in patriarchal culture marks us from the very beginning as unworthy or not as worthy, and it should come as no surprise that we learn to worry most as girls, as women, about whether we are worthy of love. ~ Bell Hooks
Narrative Art quotes by Bell Hooks
The best you can do is to take care of your life. No one is going to do it for you. ~ Art Hochberg
Narrative Art quotes by Art Hochberg
The art we produce lives in queasy balance with the art we can imagine the art the room expects. ~ Michael Cunningham
Narrative Art quotes by Michael Cunningham
Art is a tool by which society extends its perception. ~ Arne Glimcher
Narrative Art quotes by Arne Glimcher
I mean, what is this life of ours supposed to be for? Are we to spend it identifying each other with catalogues, like tourists in an art gallery? Or are we to try to exchange some kind of a signal, however garbled, before it's too late? ~ Christopher Isherwood
Narrative Art quotes by Christopher Isherwood
Education is the art of making man ethical ~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Narrative Art quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
When it comes to my art work I would say that I am a perfectionist, although my sketchbook, and my process, is a mess. ~ Noma Bar
Narrative Art quotes by Noma Bar
Making good wine is a skill; making fine wine is an art. ~ Robert Mondavi
Narrative Art quotes by Robert Mondavi
Art should be created for life, not for the museum. ~ Jean Nouvel
Narrative Art quotes by Jean Nouvel
I feel like, to me, art is a ladder to God, in my own opinion, you know. And so, for me, the more people that I can reach through many different artistic avenues, the better. ~ Jada Pinkett Smith
Narrative Art quotes by Jada Pinkett Smith
You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there, if it's received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received, great, I respect you for not. ~ Octavia Spencer
Narrative Art quotes by Octavia Spencer
Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people. ~ Seth
Narrative Art quotes by Seth
Life doesn't just happen; it's constructed through the history of power. And that's something I am interested in and so is the art world: a world that's trying to engage socially, with a leftist slant, to work out how we got here. ~ Mike Mills
Narrative Art quotes by Mike Mills
The great work of art is the complete banality, and the fault with most banalities is that they are not banal enough. Banality here is not infinite in its depth and consequence, but rests on a foundation of spirituality and aesthetics. ~ Asger Jorn
Narrative Art quotes by Asger Jorn
Politics is the art of realizing what there is to realize. ~ Adam Michnik
Narrative Art quotes by Adam Michnik
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure. ~ Cyril Connolly
Narrative Art quotes by Cyril Connolly
Elsewhere there are no mobile phones. Elsewhere sleep is deep and the mornings are wonderful. Elsewhere art is endless, exhibitions are free and galleries are open twenty-four hours a day. Elsewhere alcohol is a joke that everybody finds funny. Elsewhere everybody is as welcoming as they'd be if you'd come home after a very long time away and they'd really missed you. Elsewhere nobody stops you in the street and says, are you a Catholic or a Protestant, and when you say neither, I'm a Muslim, then says yeah but are you a Catholic Muslim or a Protestant Muslim? Elsewhere there are no religions. Elsewhere there are no borders. Elsewhere nobody is a refugee or an asylum seeker whose worth can be decided about by a government. Elsewhere nobody is something to be decided about by anybody. Elsewhere there are no preconceptions. Elsewhere all wrongs are righted. Elsewhere the supermarkets don't own us. Elsewhere we use our hands for cups and the rivers are clean and drinkable. Elsewhere the words of the politicians are nourishing to the heart. Elsewhere charlatans are known for their wisdom. Elsewhere history has been kind. Elsewhere nobody would ever say the words bring back the death penalty. Elsewhere the graves of the dead are empty and their spirits fly above the cities in instinctual, shapeshifting formations that astound the eye. Elsewhere poems cancel imprisonment. Elsewhere we do time differently.
Every time I travel, I head for it. Every time I come home, I look for ~ Ali Smith
Narrative Art quotes by Ali Smith
There's an axiom I live by: 'There is no art without politics.' You either choose to engage it, or you choose political apathy. This ties in with ideas around real-time performance and feedback. ~ Chris Jordan
Narrative Art quotes by Chris Jordan
I was good at art - always good at art. ~ Robert Barry
Narrative Art quotes by Robert Barry
I decided honestly that comic art is an art form in itself. It reflects the life and times more accurately and actually is more artistic than magazine illustration - since it is entirely creative. An illustrator works with camera and models; a comic artist begins with a white sheet of paper and dreams up his own business - he is playwright, director, editor and artist at once. ~ Alex Raymond
Narrative Art quotes by Alex Raymond
Artists must remain in a state of awe to remain artists. ~ Marty Rubin
Narrative Art quotes by Marty Rubin
Art is not an end in itself, but a means of addressing humanity. ~ Modest Mussorgsky
Narrative Art quotes by Modest Mussorgsky
Those of us living in the Islamic Republic of Iran grasped both the tragedy and absurdity of the
cruelty to which we were subjected. We had to poke fun at our own misery in order to survive.
We also instinctively recognized poshlust-not just in others, but in ourselves. This was one reason
that art and literature became so essential to our lives: they were not a luxury but a necessity.
What Nabokov captured was the texture of life in a totalitarian society, where you are completely
alone in an illusory world full of false promises, where you can no longer differentiate between
your savior and your executioner. ~ Azar Nafisi
Narrative Art quotes by Azar Nafisi
Let's not forget, art can sell. You ain't gotta front all the time on your records. ~ Nas
Narrative Art quotes by Nas
If climate change drove the megafauna extinct, then this presents yet another reason to worry about what we are doing to global temperatures. If, on the other hand, people were to blame - and it seems increasingly likely that they were - then the import is almost more disturbing. It would mean that the current extinction event began all the way back in the middle of the last ice age. It would mean that man was a killer - to use the term of art an "overkiller" - pretty much right from the start. ~ Elizabeth Kolbert
Narrative Art quotes by Elizabeth Kolbert
All art, literature, and music must be born in your heart's blood. Art is your heart's blood. ~ Edvard Munch
Narrative Art quotes by Edvard Munch
When I was your age, art was a lonely thing: no galleries, no collecting, no critics, no money. We didn't have mentors. We didn't have parents. We were alone. But it was a great time, because we had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. ~ John Logan
Narrative Art quotes by John Logan
Reconciliation is a deep practice that we can do with our listening and our mindful speech. To reconcile means to bring peace and happiness to nations, people, and members of our family ... In order to reconcile, you have to possess the art of deep listening. ~ Nhat Hanh
Narrative Art quotes by Nhat Hanh
