The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist. - Eric Gill
The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. - Emile Zola
The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation. - Auguste Rodin
The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run downhill. - W. Somerset Maugham
The artist who is after success lets himself be influenced by the public. Generally such an artist contributes nothing new, for the public acclaims only what it already knows, what it recognizes. - Andre Gide
The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it. Rather, paintings and poetry, music and fashion, design and dialogue, they all define who we are as a people and provide an account of our history for the next generation. - Michelle Obama
The forms of art reflect the history of man more truthfully than do documents themselves. - Theodor W. Adorno
The good thing about being an artist, is it's a legitimate way of looking at things cross-eyed. - John Chamberlain
The great artist when he comes, uses everything that has been discovered or known about his art up to that point, being able to accept or reject in a time so short it seems that the knowledge was born with him, rather than that he takes instantly what it takes the ordinary man a lifetime to know, and then the great artist goes beyond what has been done or known and makes something of his own. - Ernest Hemingway
