Art is the
objectification of feeling.
-- Suzanne K. Langer
1895-1985, American
Philosopher
A good
traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.
-- Lao-Tzu
BC 600-?, Chinese
Philosopher, Founder of Taoism, Author of the ''Tao Te Ching''
In other
countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby
bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti,
but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is
indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.
-- Sinclair Lewis
1885-1951, First American
Novelist to win the Nobel Prize for literature
Making social
comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from.
If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the
artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
-- Bella Lewitzky
1916-, American Dancer
