I know that one of the great arts that the writer develops is the art of saying, 'No. No, I'm finished. Bye.' And leaving it alone. I will not write it into the ground. I will not write the life out of it. I won't do that.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Because of the routines we follow, we often forget that life is an ongoing adventure. . . Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art: to bring all our energies to each encounter, to remain flexible enough to notice and admit when what we expected to happen did not happen. We need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
When younger writers and poets, musicians and painters are weakened by a stemming of funds, they come to me saddened, not as full of dreams and excitement and ideas. I am then weakened and diminished, and made less rich.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
“Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things. ”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
The purpose of life seems to be to acquaint a man with himself and whatever science or art or course of action he engages in reacts upon and illuminates the recesses of his own mind.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.
Quote by -John Wooden
When you’re writing and you start to feel really uncomfortable, that’s when you know you’re starting to get it right. I’d imagine that applies to photography. It applies to everything.
Quote by -Tim Firris
The quality of my writing dropped miserably if I tried to do more than four hours per day. It’s not necessary to put in 9-5 hours.
Quote by -Tim Firris
“If what you want is the effect of painting, then paint, Aurora. If what you want is truth, learn to use your camera," he would say again and again”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
Art, after all, is a means of acquiring “personal” liberty. Your way is not my way nor mine yours.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“My task is to find the authenticity in the character. I tend to go with the script and tell that story.”
Quote by -Ulrich Thomsen
I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often; it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
"But Natural Selection, as we shall hereafter see, is a power incessantly ready for action, and is immeasurably superior to man's feeble efforts, as the works of Nature are to those of Art."
Quote by -Charles Darwin
"The study of beauty is a duel in which the artist cries out in terror before being vanquished."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally; goodness is always the product of some art."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"An artist has got to get acquainted with himself just as much as he can. It is no easy job, for it is not a present-day habit of humanity."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"I do not know what evil is when it comes to art. I only know what is good art and what is bad art."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Thou art the Potter and I am the clay."

Quote by -Chaim Potok
"I do not have many things that are meaningful to me. Except my doubts and my fears. And my art."
Quote by -Chaim Potok

Quote by -Chaim Potok
"Art is whether or not there is a scream in him wanting to get out in a special way."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
