“Life is art, Joe. Living is artistry. What we do, you and me, is artifice, but if it is artfully done, then it is art. What else is there but that which we create?”

“What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?”

“In which, if any, of these constitutions do we find the art of ruling being practiced in the actual government of men? What art is more difficult to learn? But what art is more important to us?”

“Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.”

“Art is what we do and culture is what they do to us.”

“Art is the process of relationship. Through art we create and share ourselves.”
