The faculty of art is to change events; the faculty of science is to foresee them. The phenomena with which we deal are controlled by art; they are predicted by science.

Society prepares the crime; the criminal commits it.

Sir, the slowness of genius is hard to bear, but the slowness of mediocrity is insufferable.

Henry Thomas Buckle Author

First doubt, then inquire, then discover. This has been the process with all our great thinkers.

Henry Thomas Buckle Author

There is a thing about beauty. Beauty is always associated with the male fantasy of what the female body is. I don’t think there is anything wrong with beauty. It’s just what women think is beautiful can be different. And there can be a beauty in individualism. If there is a wart or a scar, this can be beautiful, in a sense, when you paint it.

Jenny Saville Painter

To know whether photography is or is not an art matters little. What is important is to distinguish between good and bad photography. By good is meant that photography which accepts all the limitations inherent in photographic technique and takes advantage of the possibilities and characteristics the medium offers. By bad photography is mean that which is done, one may say, with a kind of inferiority complex, with no appreciation of what photography itself offers: but on the contrary, recurring to all sorts of imitations.

Tina Modotti Photographer

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

Arthur Schopenhauer Philosopher

What is one to think of those fools who tell one that the artist is always subordinate to nature? Art is a harmony parallel with nature.

Paul Cezanne Artist

I got my first camera when I was 21 - my boyfriend gave it to me for my birthday - but at that point politics was my life, and I viewed the camera as a tool for expressing my political beliefs rather than as an art medium.

Carrie Mae Weems Artist

Everything we think of as great has come to us from neurotics. It is they and they alone who found religions and create great works of art. The world will never realize how much it owes to them and what they have suffered in order to bestow their gifts on it.

Marcel Proust Novelist
