Appropriation is the idea that ate the art world. Go to any Chelsea gallery or international biennial and you'll find it. It's there in paintings of photographs photographs of advertising sculpture with ready-made objects videos using already-existing film.

The price of a work of art has nothing to do with what the work of art is can do or is worth on an existential alchemical level.

I'm enamored with the art world. Anytime you look at anything that's considered artistic there's a commercial world around it: the ballet opera any kind of music. It can't exist without it.

The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence to recreate it in the eternal.

The work of art assumes the existence of the perfect spectator and is indifferent to the fact that no such person exists.

All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art because to us it is false and visionary was to the makers of it true and existent.

The great art of life is sensation to feel that we exist even in pain.

I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art poems schools theology displacing all that exists or that has been produced anywhere in the past under opposite influences.

Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows and of lending existence to nothing.

Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.

I think music is the greatest art form that exists and I think people listen to music for different reasons and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music and some of it is things that might affect a person's day if not their life or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet but soon will and will change everything for everybody and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible never the impossible.

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel hypocrite and flatterer for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.

For art to exist for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.

I think in art but especially in films people are trying to confirm their own existences.

I acquired an admiration for Japanese culture art and architecture and learned of the existence of the game of GO which I still play.

Without this spirit Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism I use architecture to reconcile the two.

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger rage fear sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.

The components of anxiety stress fear and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world even though we talk about them as if they do.

These things have a life of there own and never existed when I was growing up certainly worrying when one would get made. It's kind of amazing how that one movie kept living through all these years.

Stevie Wonder is just one of those guys that completely delivers everything that you want to be true about Stevie Wonder. He's an amazing human being and the fairytale exists with that man.

I'm one of those people that thinks the Internet is amazing and I can't believe it exists.

However democracy cannot be defined as the existence of parliaments and elections alone.

That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.
