On the other hand, the waging of peace as a science, as an art, is in its infancy. But we can trace its growth, its steady progress, and the time will come when there will be particular individuals designated to assume responsibility for and leadership of this movement.
Art is such an important part of our culture.
I have a very broad-minded family. Acting is an art, and we understand that.
I'm not interested in making art unless I'm totally freaked out and worried people are going to hate it.
Trash has given us an appetite for art.
Art is what can't be proven mathematically, right, it's where science ends. It's the part that makes you feel good, but you don't know why.
We're all so mauled by information, but it's recycled information. We need to shut it out. So, you've got to get bizarre. This is an artist's purpose - to break away from the recycled. Performance art can do that.
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
I was an art student when I was a boy, and as an art student you don't have to talk to anyone - you just have to paint really wonderful paintings. It's very unlike being an actor, where you have to talk all the time.
In art economy is always beauty.
Brazil is strewn with ruins of projects - refineries, power plants - begun but never finished. Most of this investment never landed in places or industries that really meshed with the trajectory of the global economy. This wasn't state-of-the art industrial policy. The projects seemed curiously nostalgic.
When one loves one's Art no service seems too hard.
Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.
Take Damien Hirst out of contemporary art history, and there's an incredible void. Great artists, like great people, have second acts.
In the world of reality the more beautiful a work of art, the longer, we may be sure, was the time required to make it, and the greater the number of different minds which assisted in its development.
I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.
Freedom of speech is, to all Americans, as oxygen is to the human condition. It is a right that has been irreversibly programmed into our hard drive. We are free to speak our minds. An artist's right to express him or herself as best suits their art, is the artist's prerogative and it is guaranteed.
The art of advertisement, after the American manner, has introduced into all our life such a lavish use of superlatives, that no standard of value whatever is intact.
The building art is man's spatial dialogue with his environment and demonstrates how he asserts himself therein and how he masters it.
The war was the end of an era, in art as well. And we were trying to create a new philosophy.
Washington is a mean town where human sacrifice has been raised to an art form.
How do you make any sense of history, art or literature without knowing the stories and iconography of your own culture and all the world's main religions?
You must in all Airs follow the strength, spirit, and disposition of the horse, and do nothing against nature; for art is but to set nature in order, and nothing else.
Of all the seasons, winter is the most conducive to the great art of dormancy. This art requires an appreciation of semi-consciousness: the beautiful and necessary prelude to sleep - a special pleasure in itself that is all too often neglected, under-valued or looked down upon.
There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.
Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump.
Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.
I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the greatest flights of art.
I believe that any art communicates what you're in the mood to receive.
I've directed 'Raisin in the Sun' five times. You keep discovering things. You keep on seeing things in the script that you never saw before. That's what great pieces of art do.
I'm involved with Kid One Transport and Studio by the Tracks in Alabama. Kid One literally transports kids to better health by giving them transportation they may need to get medical care. Studio by the Tracks is an art outlet for mentally challenged children.
Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.
Fashion is not art. Fashion is a business that requires discipline and attention to detail and very organized systems of logistics and operations and processes. But even with the most smoothly oiled machine to manage the business, without creativity, fashion could not exist.
Programming is the art of algorithm design and the craft of debugging errant code.
I always talk to young writers about when you make art in your room, you make art. And when you send it to New York and L.A., you have to be a professional. Of course, when you sell your book rights as an option for a movie, you have to be a professional about that.
In the mid- to late '60s to the mid-'70s, when I was a student, there was a major change in the thinking about what art can be and how art is made.
