Artistic Quotes.

[Acier]

hey everyone, I need a quote pertaining to art for a Club T shirt, and while wiki quotes is nice I was hoping to see if anyone here had good ones. It can be humorous, deep, or whatever. It just has to do with art in some way. Also the more general the art the better *( It's National Art honors Society so there are photographers, painters, sculpters etc) Also, keep it short please, it has to fit on a shirt

Thanks to all who contribute

"Art is resistance". That's the only thing I can think of right now, but I think it's pretty powerful.

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.

[Amsus]

I got a couple suggestions

1: All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?

2: Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies

3: He who has a why to live can bear almost any how

4: If you're going through hell, keep going

that's all i can think of right now at any rate

Is that a S.T.A.L.K.E.R joke?

Yes... Sorry, just played it again and that guy at the Bar always makes me laugh.

Well, let me try to translate a quote from German to English...

"You can easily create a landscape with plenty of orderless lines, but you can't create music with orderless notes."

- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

In similar fashion to that, "Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder". Used by I Set My Friends On Fire as a song name but probably older than that.
