Immature artists imitate. Mature artists steal.
Lionel Trilling
My love of fine art increased - the more of it I saw, the more of it I wanted to see.
Paul Getty

Andre Gide
By the work one knows the workman.

I cry out for order and find it only in art.
Helen Hayes

Stephen Sondheim
I think about my work every minute of the day.
Jeff Koons
I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
Jackson Pollock
Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.
Jean Rostand
When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.

Henry A. Kissinger
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.
Roy Lichtenstein
An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.
Edgard Varese
No heirloom of humankind captures the past as do art and language.
Theodore Bikel
I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
Art hurts. Art urges voyages - and it is easier to stay at home.
Gwendolyn Brooks
