Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
Fran Lebowitz

Henry Miller

E. M. Forster
Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.
Friedrich Schiller
Rationalism is the enemy of art, though necessary as a basis for architecture.
