Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry.
~ Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
The real art of conducting consists in transitions.
~ Gustav Mahler
It is essential to do everything possible to attract young people to opera so they can see that it is not some antiquated art form but a repository of the most glorious music and drama that man has created.
~ Bruce Beresford
The music is a personal expression, like art. It is something that you like doing that comes from within, and is an expression that comes from God. That is why artists are beautiful and why people who copy are not really artistic.
~ Michael Schenker
I enjoy trying to inspire myself. I enjoy the artistic side of everything. Music, art, fashion, everything. I just like to be on the cutting edge of it. I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing.
~ Chris Kirkpatrick
When we separate music from life we get art.
~ John Cage
Music is an art that expresses the inexpressible. It rises far above what words can mean or the intelligence define. Its domain is the imponderable and impalpable land of the unconscious.
~ Charles Munch
We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.
~ Andy Warhol
Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture produces an art of its own which can never be repeated.
~ Wassily Kandinsky
Kids are naturally gifted at art from a very young age. The problem is when they get older and become self-conscious. The process should always be fun, though.
~ Damien Hirst
Whatever China I'd been born into, I would probably still have become a painter - I loved sketching portraits as a child, and began art classes at the age 7. But if China hadn't been under Maoist rule, I might never have become a writer.
~ Ma Jian
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
~ Paul Cézanne
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
~ Henry Ward Beecher
The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change; happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up.
~ Charles Morgan
My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.
~ Clara Schumann
There is nothing, Sir, too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.
~ Samuel Johnson
I had a dream of music and art and the big city in which I would get lost, where no one would know me and I wouldn't know anyone, where I would work at some ordinary job, and if one day I got up in the morning and decided I wasn't going to go to work anymore, no one would ask questions.
~ Ori Gersht
Sculpture is the art of the intelligence.
~ Pablo Picasso
Thought is a strenuous art - few practice it, and then only at rare times.
~ David Ben-Gurion
I think art is not an ornament or refinement at the fringes of human intelligence, I think it's at the center. It's at the core.
~ Robert Pinsky
There is no logical reason why the camel of great art should pass through the needle of mob intelligence.
~ Rebecca West
All different forms of human expression, art, science, are going to become expanded, by expanding our intelligence.
~ Ray Kurzweil
And when they encounter works of art which show that using new media can lead to new experiences and to new consciousness, and expand our senses, our perception, our intelligence, our sensibility, then they will become interested in this music.
~ Karlheinz Stockhausen
I enjoy going out by myself... always have, always will. I don't have security guards, and, for the most part, I enjoy meeting new people. I see myself as a regular guy who likes playing video games with his nieces and nephews and poker with his family. I don't have an art collection or take exotic vacations. I enjoy being at home.
~ Vince Vaughn
Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
~ Julia Morgan
The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
~ Frank Lloyd Wright
I enjoy art, architecture, museums, churches and temples; anything that gives me insight into the history and soul of the place I'm in. I can also be a beach bum - I like to laze in the shade of a palm tree with a good book or float in a warm sea at sundown.
~ Cherie Lunghi
All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.
~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
~ Arne Jacobsen
I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.
~ Maya Lin
Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.
~ Luis Barragán
The Bauhaus strives to bring together all creative effort into one whole, to reunify all the disciplines of practical art - sculpture, painting, handicrafts, and crafts - as inseparable components of a new architecture.
~ Walter Gropius
Architecture is a service business. An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
~ Frank Gehry
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone.
Architecture is art, nothing else.
~ Philip Johnson
Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues.
~ Robert Smithson
Every time a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul.
~ Louis Kahn
The terrifying and edible beauty of Art Nouveau architecture.
~ Salvador Dalí
In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.
Architecture is a negotiated art, and it's highly political, and if you want to make buildings, there is diplomacy required.
~ Thom Mayne
