Famous quotes containing the word artist:
“Every artist writes his own autobiography.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
“To the artist is sometimes granted a sudden, transient insight which serves in this matter for experience. A flash, and where previously the brain held a dead fact, the soul grasps a living truth! At moments we are all artists.”
