3 December 2020 Tony Hawk I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. ‘Action sport’ would be the least offensive categorization.
3 December 2020 Edith Wharton Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
3 December 2020 Theodore Dreiser Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.
3 December 2020 Ellie Goulding I love prints of skulls and bones and have some taxidermy – a crow and a rabbit – to remind me of home. I like art and have a big portrait of Bjork.
3 December 2020 Ella Wheeler Wilcox You may choose your words like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart.
3 December 2020 Charles Morgan The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up.
3 December 2020 Theodore Bikel In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them – unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event.
3 December 2020 Nicolas Chamfort It is commonly supposed that the art of pleasing is a wonderful aid in the pursuit of fortune but the art of being bored is infinitely more successful.
3 December 2020 Louise Brooks The great art of films does not consist of descriptive movement of face and body but in the movements of thought and soul transmitted in a kind of intense isolation.
3 December 2020 Brad Renfro I choose films for their artistic value. I don’t need a mansion or a Jaguar. When I leave this Earth, I won’t take any money with me. All I will leave behind will be my art.
3 December 2020 Horace It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar – that I call an achievement.
3 December 2020 Salma Hayek I have a small house so I borrow everything except art, that’s what I love.
3 December 2020 Gertrude Stein A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.
3 December 2020 Aristotle It is Homer who has chiefly taught other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.
3 December 2020 Keith Haring I don’t think art is propaganda it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.
3 December 2020 Steven Spielberg I don’t think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it’s certainly worth a try.
3 December 2020 Megan Fox People who don’t like me talk about it as though I’m trash because I have tattoos. I find that insane because it’s 2008, not the 1950s. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. It’s a form of art I find beautiful. I love it.
