"All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door."
Albert Camus

"Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others."
Albert Camus

"Abstract art is a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered."
Al Capp

"The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure."
Dale Carnegie

"Mine was the role of the oilcan in making the machinery clunk around."
Hugh Casson

"What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself - life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose."
Willa Cather

"When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art."
Paul Cezanne

"When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art."
Marc Chagall

"Great art picks up where nature ends."
Marc Chagall

"I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love. I will give all my soul to prove this once more."
Marc Chagall
