Art Quotes

All of the films that I’ve made are about the country I live in and grew up in... And I think if you’re going to put an artist’s eye to it, you’re going to put a critical eye to it. I’ve always been interested in the gray area that exists between the black and white, or the red and blue, and that’s where complexity lies Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a bit less inhibited, and not thinking too much before speaking. It’s not about being shameful, I’m just a bit more unabashedly myself because of this thing, and it probably started at age 15. I can be around people and say what I think without fear Picture Quote #1

I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart Picture Quote #1

It’s because we’re so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have, and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We’re so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we’re trained to want Picture Quote #1

I lay in bed the night before the fishing trip and thought it over, about my being deaf, about the years of not letting on I heard what was said, and I wonder if I can ever act any other way again. But I remembered one thing: it wasn’t me that started acting deaf; it was people that first started acting like I was too dumb to hear or see or say anything at all Picture Quote #1

Art is what we call... the thing an artist does. It’s not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the... eye of the beholder. It’s in the soul of the artist Picture Quote #1

Because, as we all know, it’s easier to do trivial things that are urgent than it is to do important things that are not urgent, like thinking. And it’s also easier to do little things we know we can do than to start on big things that we’re not so sure about Picture Quote #1

I can’t make you understand because you don’t know the meaning of fear. You have the heart of a lion and an utter lack of imagination and I envy you both of those qualities. You’ll never mind facing realities and you’ll never want to escape from them as I do Picture Quote #1

Angels light the way. Angels do not begrudge anyone anything, angels do not tear down, angels do not compete, angels do not constrict their hearts, angels do not fear. That’s why they sing and that’s how they fly. We, of course, are only angels in disguise Picture Quote #1

Silence is something that comes from your heart, not from outside. Silence doesn’t mean not talking and not doing things; it means that you are not disturbed inside. If you’re truly silent, then no matter what situation you find yourself in you can enjoy the silence Picture Quote #1

If you are a person this world will seem full of persons. When you are the being you will not feel bound. You will know every being, look in the eyes of every being, and you know, you will recognize yourself. These things are not poetry. They are simple truths. You will experience them. In your heart they will be confirmed Picture Quote #1

You cannot find your soul with your mind, you must use your heart. You must know what you are feeling. If you don’t know what you are feeling, you will create unconsciously. If you are unconscious of an aspect of yourself; if it operates outside your field of awareness, that aspect has power over you Picture Quote #1

Weaknesses and deficiencies... play a most important part in all our lives. It is because of them that we need others and others need us. We are not all weak in the same spots, and so we supplement and complete one another, each one making up in himself for the lack in another Picture Quote #1

I’ve been doing it all along, ever since I got out of art school Picture Quote #1

That is why we profess a spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic art Picture Quote #1

Conception, my boy, fundamental brain work, is what makes all the difference in art Picture Quote #1

Maturity implies otherness... The art of living is the art of living with Picture Quote #1

Art is the supreme task and the truly metaphysical activity in this life… Picture Quote #1

Feeling is an art and, like any other art, can be acquired by taking pains Picture Quote #1

One must not always think that feeling is everything. Art is nothing without form Picture Quote #1

Kicked in the ribs, the press says art when ouch would be more appropriate Picture Quote #1

You know who the critics are? the men who have failed in literature and art Picture Quote #1

The art of governing consists in not letting men grow old in their jobs Picture Quote #1

You must not think that feeling is everything... Art is nothing without form Picture Quote #1
