People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians Picture Quote #1

When you start putting a higher value on works of art than people, you’re forfeiting your humanity Picture Quote #1

Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our own spontaneous expression with good humored inflexibility whether the whole cry of voices is on the other side Picture Quote #1

I think it’s always hard for people to get their head around the fact that populist, commercial films can also actually be great works of art Picture Quote #1

Museums and art stores are also sources of pleasure and inspiration. Doubtless it will seem strange to many that the hand unaided by sight can feel action, sentiment, beauty in the cold marble; and yet it is true that I derive genuine pleasure from touching great works of art. As my finger tips trace line and curve, they discover the thought and emotion which the artist has portrayed Picture Quote #1

Things aren’t all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life Picture Quote #1

Learn how to meditate on paper. Drawing and writing are forms of meditation. Learn how to contemplate works of art. Learn how to pray in the streets or in the country. Know how to meditate not only when you have a book in your hand but when you are waiting for a bus or riding in a train Picture Quote #1

What are works of art for? to educate, to be standards. To produce is of little use unless what we produce is known, is widely known, the wider known the better, for it is by being known that it works, it influences, it does its duty, it does good. We must try, then, to be known, aim at it, take means to it. And this without puffing in the process or pride in the success Picture Quote #1

We have built for this world a family mansion, and the next a family tomb. The best works of art are the expression of man’s struggle to free himself from this condition, but the effect of our art is merely to make this low state comfortable and that higher state to be forgotten Picture Quote #1

Real greatness is often humble, simple, and unobtrusive. It is not easy to trust ourselves and our actions without public affirmation. Some of the greatest works of art and the most important works of peace were created by people who had no need for the limelight. They knew that what they were doing was their call, and they did it with great patience, perseverance, and love Picture Quote #1

Anything that is beautiful is beautiful just as it is. Praise forms no part of its beauty, since praise makes things neither better nor worse. This applies even more to what it commonly called beautiful: natural objects, for example, or works of art. True beauty has no need of anything beyond itself Picture Quote #1

With a movie you’re creating from the beginning this particular work, let’s not call it work of art, because very few movies are works of art, let’s just call them bits of popular culture, whatever they are, sometimes very rarely by accident a movie becomes a work of art Picture Quote #1

I believe in the time when we shall be able to create works of art in the theatre without the use of the written play, without the use of actors Picture Quote #1

Whatever the practical origins of aesthetic discernment may have been, it has been used to create great works of art. When the very loftiest human creations are seen to derive from humble origins and functions, what needs revision is not our esteem for these creations but our notion of nobility Picture Quote #1

Like surgeons trying to save a life, the conservators and preservers at New York City museums dedicate themselves to ensuring the longevity of works of art for public view Picture Quote #1

It is only with the best judges that the highest works of art would lose none of their honor by being seen in their rudiments Picture Quote #1

The Smithsonian museums are among this country’s most endearing treasures and I look forward to helping maintain and enhance their coveted works of art Picture Quote #1

The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction Picture Quote #1

Ideas alone can be works of art; they are in a chain of development that may eventually find some form. All ideas need not be made physical Picture Quote #1

A certain strangeness, something of the blossoming of the aloe, is indeed an element in all true works of art: that they shall excite or surprise us is indispensable Picture Quote #1

Art was as much in the activity as in the results. Works of art were not just the finished product, but the thought, the action, the process that created them Picture Quote #1
