Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
