One is so apt to cheapen a thing when one tries hastily to put it into words, and ever afterward it is never quite the same.

Ruth Sawyer Writer

whereas there are many people in the world who can give life to others, there are but few who can help others to possess it.

Ruth Sawyer Writer

To be a good storyteller one must be gloriously alive. It is not possible to kindle fresh fires from burned-out embers. I have noticed that the best of the traditional storytellers whom I have heard have been those who live close to the heart of things-to the earth, the sea, wind and weather. They have been those who knew solitude, silence. They have been given unbroken time in which to feel deeply, to reach constantly for understanding. They have come to know the power of the spoken word. These storytellers have been sailors and peasants, wanderers and fisherman.

To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.

Robert Schumann Composer

Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

Oscar Wilde Writer

It is the end of art to inoculate men with the love of nature.

Henry Ward Beecher Minister

That was a piece I did in 1963 with Konrad Lueg in a department store, in the furniture department. It was announced in some papers as an exhibition opening, but the people who came didn't know that it was to be a sort of Happening. I don't think it is quite right that it has become so famous anyhow. It was just a lot of fun, and the word itself, Capitalist Realism, hit just right. But it wasn't such a big deal.

Gerhard Richter Visual Artist

Performance wasnt something that I intended to do. I was doing work that was about process, about the meaning of the making, trying to have a love-hate relationship with the object. I always feel safer if I can bring the viewer back to the making of it. I try to do that in a lot of different ways, by residue, by touch, by these processes that are basic to all of our lives...that people might relate to in terms of process, everyday activities- bathing, eating, etc.

Janine Antoni Artist

The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible

Toni Cade Bambara Author

Art is always the replacement of indifference by attention.
