Art is often valuable precisely because it isn't a sensible way to make money.

Art is something special because it can come up with a way of approaching the truth that is a little to the side.

I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.

Art is all in the details.

The best thing about art is that it is the one luxury in life that can be enjoyed by everyone. And it lasts forever.

It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.

I think there are a lot more important things than art in the world. But not to me.

Art is anything you can get away with.
