Quote by -David Sedaris
“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, an poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be. This weed we call self-actualization….It refers to man’s desire for self-fulfillment, namely to the tendency for him to become actually in what he is potentially: to become everything one is capable of becoming.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“There is no art which one government sooner learns of another than that of draining money from the pockets of the people.”

I did 14 movies in six years, I had a cartoon TV show, and I don't want to do that again. I just want to make unique pieces of art. That's why I quit everything when I was 14 and sat around for eight years before I did another movie.
Quote by -Macaulay Culkin
I'm a kid from New York, so urban life reflected into art and music was around me and accessible and tangible.

However, as words become particularized, and as men begin - in however small a way - to use them in personal, arbitrary ways, so their transformation into art begins.
Quote by -Yukio Mishima
The ability to make somebody feel something: that's art. However you look at it, whether you're an author, a painter, a singer, a rapper, a spoken-word artist - art.
Quote by -Wale
Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be.
Quote by -Walter Benjamin
Art and life are subjective. Not everybody gonna dig what I dig, but I reserve the right to dig it.

Quote by -Willa Cather
What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mold in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself.
Quote by -Willa Cather
