Quote

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Art is the proper task of life.

Artwork is a representation of our devotion to life.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Art is for entertainment purposes, but it's also to reflect our dreams, our hopes, the present, the future the past - whether it's good or bad.

Art gives people a reason to be alive.

Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.

Art's a very metaphysical activity. It's something that enriches the parameters of your life, the possibilities of being, and you touch transcendence and you change your life. And you want to change the life of others, too. That's why people are involved with art.

In addition to giving comfort and joy, art also has the miraculous ability to let us live in other men's skins, to test our perceptions and beliefs against theirs, and perhaps to be changed as a result. It does this by portraying the world creatively, heightening our perception and enriching our understanding of things as they are.
