The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. –William Faulkner
But that's what being an artist is - feeling crummy before everyone else feels crummy. –The New Yorker
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. –Leonardo da Vinci
The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.–Banksy
One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.–Salvador Dali
