Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“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)
“Women and egoistic artists entertain a feeling towards science that is something composed of envy and sentimentality.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Immature artists imitate. Mature artists steal.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
