“Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
The Four Agreements
“If the two meanings of 'heart' are 'center' and 'part,' then the word 'art' also forms a perplexing doubleness: it is something human-made with materials; that is, it is made of us. Art is life. And yet it is distinct from 'life.' Art is life's counterpoint. We make it, and in that making, art is pointedly not life. It is just made of us.”
Brenda Shaughnessy
“Art always serves beauty, and beauty is the joy of possessing form, and form is the key to organic life since no living thing can exist without it.”
Boris Pasternak
Doctor Zhivago
“With the exception of love, friendship and the beauty of art, I don't see much else that can nurture human life.”
Muriel Barbery
The Elegance of the Hedgehog
“In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.”
