Famous quotes containing the word artists:

    “If the artist is not also a craftsman, the artist is nothing, but calamity: most of our artists are nothing but craftsmen.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Modern conquerors can kill, but do not seem to be able to create. Artists know how to create but cannot really kill. Murderers are only very exceptionally found among artists.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “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)
