It was said that [Vetinari] would tolerate absolutely anything apart from anything that threatened the city* ... [Footnote] And mime artists. It was a strange aversion, but there you are. Anyone in baggy trousers and a white face who tried to ply their art anywhere within Ankh's crumbling walls would very quickly find themselves in a a scorpion pit, on one wall of which was painted the advice: Learn The Words. ~ Terry Pratchett
Preserving Art quotes by Terry Pratchett
Art is man determined to die sane. ~ Bernard DeVoto
Preserving Art quotes by Bernard DeVoto
The combinatory agility of words," he wrote in "Not-Knowing," "the exponential generation of meaning once they're allowed to go to bed together, allows the writer to surprise himself, makes art possible, reveals how much of Being we haven't yet encountered. ~ Donald Barthelme
Preserving Art quotes by Donald Barthelme
Science can now help us to understand ourselves in this way by giving factual information about brain structure and function, and how the mind works. Then there is an art of self knowledge, which each person has to develop for himself. This art must lead one to be sensitive to how his basically false approach to life is always tending to generate conflict and confusion. The role of art here is therefore not to provide a symbolism, but rather to teach the artistic spirit of sensitive perception of the individual and particular phenomena of one's own psyche. This spirit is needed if one is to understand the relevance of general scientific knowledge to his own special problems, as well as to give effect to the scientific spirit of seeing the fact about one's self as it is, whether on elikes it or not, and thus helping to end conflict.
Such an approach is not possible, however, unless one has the spirit that meets life wholly and totally. We still need the religious spirit, but today we no longer need the religious mythology, which is now introducing an irrelevant and confusing element into the whole question.
Itwould seem, then, that in some ways the modern person must manage to create a total approach to life which accomplishes what was done in earlier days by science, art and religion, but in a new way that is appropriate to the modern conditions of life. An important part of such an action is to see what the relationshipbetween science and art now actually is, and t ~ David Bohm
Preserving Art quotes by David Bohm
I love Inuit art, and most anything you would find in a folk art museum, as well as children's art or children's book illustrators or illustrators in general - all the kinds of work that my paintings would draw comparisons to. ~ Neil Farber
Preserving Art quotes by Neil Farber
Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can't tell you how to do it. If there were a map, there'd be no art, because art is the act of navigating without a map. Don't you hate that? I love that there's no map. ~ Seth Godin
Preserving Art quotes by Seth Godin
Knowledge is intellectual art. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Preserving Art quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
One of the best things Henry Miller ever said was that art goes all out. It's all out. It goes full length ... A big book is an all-out book in which you limit your life to things that pertain directly to the book. ~ Nelson Algren
Preserving Art quotes by Nelson Algren
There is nothing sacred or untouchable except the freedom to think. Without criticism, that is to say, without rigor and experimentation, there is no science, without criticism there is no art or literature. I would also say that without criticism there is no healthy society. ~ Octavio Paz
Preserving Art quotes by Octavio Paz
Bad art was as good as good art. Grammar and spelling were no longer important. To be clean was no better than to be filthy. Good manners were no better than bad. Family life was derided as an outdated bourgeois concept. Criminals deserved as much sympathy as their victims. Many homes and classrooms became disorderly - if there was neither right nor wrong there could be no basis for punishment or reward. Violence and soft pornography became accepted in the media. Thus was sown the wind, and we are now reaping the whirlwind. ~ Norman Tebbit
Preserving Art quotes by Norman Tebbit
My trade and art is to live. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Preserving Art quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Write something that's worth fighting over. Because that's how you change things. That's how you create art. ~ Jeff Goins
Preserving Art quotes by Jeff Goins
Design is not really a way for me to express myself. Design is a product that we produce for a client. ~ Peleg Top
Preserving Art quotes by Peleg Top
The more realistic you are the more you threaten the grounds of your own art. ~ Saul Bellow
Preserving Art quotes by Saul Bellow
Emotions of every color create the rich work of art that is life. ~ Amy Leigh Mercree
Preserving Art quotes by Amy Leigh Mercree
I cannot help thinking that the death of the young is not in the plan of our being, and that we are ourselves greatly responsible for it. Indeed I believe we are at the beginning only of the art of living. ~ Georgiana Burne-Jones
Preserving Art quotes by Georgiana Burne-Jones
The Truth is simple but the Way of Man is hard. First you must learn to control your self. The rest follows. Blessed is he who knows himself and commands himself, for the world is his and love and happiness and peace walk with him wherever he goes. Thou art God. Know that and the Way is opened. I love you. Thou art God.
-Valentine Michael Smith ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Preserving Art quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Art is the splendor of reality before everything has become meaning. ~ Frederick Sommer
Preserving Art quotes by Frederick Sommer
Art has to address eternal issues. ~ Duane Michals
Preserving Art quotes by Duane Michals
I wasn't the brightest kid in school. I was a backbencher troubling the frontbencher, and eventually I failed in my 10th grade. But then in higher secondary, there were only three people who got first division in arts, and I was one of them. So this tells you, where you put your mind and heart into, that's where you go. ~ Shiv Khera
Preserving Art quotes by Shiv Khera
We want to see the newest things. That is because we want to see the future, even if only momentarily. It is the moment in which, even if we don't completely understand what we have glimpsed, we are nonetheless touched by it. This is what we have come to call art. ~ Takashi Murakami
Preserving Art quotes by Takashi Murakami
( ... ) contemporary art has become a kind of alternative religion for atheists. ( ... ) For many art world insiders and art aficionados of other kinds, concept-driven art is a kind of existencial channel through which they bring meaning to their lives. It demands leaps of faith, but it rewards the believer with a sense of consequence. Moreover, just as churches and other ritualistic meeting places serve a social function, so art events generate a sense of community around shared interests ~ Sarah Thornton
Preserving Art quotes by Sarah Thornton
Sex sells everything, but I don't buy it. ~ Natalie Imbruglia
Preserving Art quotes by Natalie Imbruglia
The first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible ~ William S. Burroughs
Preserving Art quotes by William S. Burroughs
If only we could persuade galleries to observe a fallow period in which, for two months every other year, new and old works of art could be sold in back rooms and all main galleries would be devoted to revisiting shows gone by. ~ Jerry Saltz
Preserving Art quotes by Jerry Saltz
The internet has surrounded television and turned television into an art form. ~ T Bone Burnett
Preserving Art quotes by T Bone Burnett
The ultimate function of art is to make men do what they want to do, as it is to make them recognize what they know. ~ Maurice Blondel
Preserving Art quotes by Maurice Blondel
If we can write or sing or create in some way, even when we are dealing with difficulties or pain, then it becomes something bigger than ourselves - and often beautiful. ~ Brenda Peterson
Preserving Art quotes by Brenda Peterson
Books should be like magical jewelled boxes. It's the writer's job to tell the story. My job [the artist] is to make you want to pick up the box, and to peer inside. ~ Thomas Canty
Preserving Art quotes by Thomas Canty
When I was at school, you couldn't draw and be into football, too. If you were into art, then you were seen as an absolute pansy, and there was no way you'd be admitted to the guys' world of football. ~ Peter Capaldi
Preserving Art quotes by Peter Capaldi
I think there's always an expectation when you're a first generation, especially a first-generation Nigerian, of sort of being a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer. And so, you know, sort of my initial pursuits into the arts and that I was going to pursue film as a career didn't confuse them, but it was definitely something that they were scared about. ~ Terry Gross
Preserving Art quotes by Terry Gross
What crushed my soul was hanging out with bitter, desperate comics backstage. They're a different breed than the bitter yet eager psyches in the wings of an improv theatre. Struggling stand-ups have externalized self-loathing into an art form. They're a hunching, quaking, unshaven lot. ~ Scott Adsit
Preserving Art quotes by Scott Adsit
Because art, for all its adventuresomeness, is also capable of being the most recidivist of human activities, forever falling back in reaction to what was itself a reaction to something else. ~ Howard Jacobson
Preserving Art quotes by Howard Jacobson
In all technai or arts (medicine perhaps most of all), there is a self-exhilaration on the part of the practitioner (the intoxication of the ego with its own potency) which is infectious: the patient enjoys a placebo-effect which redounds to the ego of the "artist." ~ Kenny Smith
Preserving Art quotes by Kenny Smith
Writing, as most art, is considered to be essentially superfluous. Who is an artist before a surgeon? Or a scientist? But the fact that tyrants and political forces of every age have been threatened by art again and again, condemned it as degenerate or poisonous, and have silenced, brutalized, or murdered artists because of their work only serves to illustrate how significant art is, that it is our one greatest power. I would even go so far as to say that the tyrant 'understands' art more than the devotee, for the latter is generally too 'pious' and adoring, almost like a simple-minded believer overwrought by faith who simply loves and finds everything 'great,' whereas the former suffers the transformative threat of art more, is even endangered by it, hence their terror. ~ Rainer J. Hanshe
Preserving Art quotes by Rainer J. Hanshe
If the whole is to be Art, the parts must not try to be. ~ Del Close
Preserving Art quotes by Del Close
Art, though, is never the voice of a country; it is an even more precious thing, the voice of the individual, doing its best to speak, not comfort of any sort, but truth. And the art that speaks it most unmistakably, most directly, most variously, most fully, is fiction; in particular, the novel. ~ Eudora Welty
Preserving Art quotes by Eudora Welty
Reason! how many eyes hast thou to see evils, and how dim, nay, blind, thou art in preventing them. ~ Philip Sidney
Preserving Art quotes by Philip Sidney
At its best, no art form is more thrilling than grand opera, yet none is at greater risk of following the dinosaurs down the cold road to extinction. ~ Terry Teachout
Preserving Art quotes by Terry Teachout
I love being creative, and for me it doesn't matter what it is - whether it's art or music or just daydreaming. ~ Brett Dennen
Preserving Art quotes by Brett Dennen
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of ones chosen form. ~ Stephen Nachmanovitch
Preserving Art quotes by Stephen Nachmanovitch
But this was the first occasion I had come across someone for whom art was a means of avoiding reality rather than confronting it head on, an idea so strange to me that I didn't fully comprehend it at the time. ~ Deirdre Madden
Preserving Art quotes by Deirdre Madden
Boxing is not brutal, it's an art - God has gifted me with incredible handspeed as a tool to be used - what else am I supposed to do but fight? There ain't no hand-racing competitions. ~ Roy Jones Jr.
Preserving Art quotes by Roy Jones Jr.
Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice. ~ Peter F. Drucker
Preserving Art quotes by Peter F. Drucker
I love prints of skulls and bones and have some taxidermy - a crow and a rabbit - to remind me of home. I like art and have a big portrait of Bjork. ~ Ellie Goulding
Preserving Art quotes by Ellie Goulding
There's always someone kicking guns. We wanted ["Badlands"] to be a world without guns and bullets, where martial arts was the form of fighting and defense and attack. Martial arts is king in this world. That was the first thing. We didn't want it to be a period piece either. We felt those are overdone and stuffy. That was what lead us to explore that area of science fiction and future, a world we can create and control. ~ Miles Millar
Preserving Art quotes by Miles Millar
