The more I think about it the more I feel that there’s nothing more genuinely artistic than to love people.
My trade and art is to live.
Truly, art is embedded in nature; he who can extract it, has it.

The philosopher should never forget that he is cultivating an art and not a science.

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
The art of living well, is of all the arts the greatest.
Criticism is easy, and art is difficult.
Cinema is the form of modern writing whose ink is light.
Art is long, life is short.
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.
Art consists in making others feel what we feel.
Every human being should be an artist. Everything can become beautiful art.
Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.
Art is the transition from nature to education, and from education to nature.
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
True art is creation, and creation is beyond all theories.
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
The dignity of art appears perhaps most eminently in music, because in music there is no material factor to be discounted. Music is all form and figure, exalting and ennobling everything it expresses.
Art is the most beautiful of all lies.
Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.
Love is not merely a sentiment, it is an art.
Geometry is to the plastic arts what grammar is to the art of the writer.
The art, my children, it is to be absolutely oneself.
People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love.
Becoming human is an art.
