Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.

Gustave Flaubert
But theater, because of its nature, both text, images, multimedia effects, has a wider base of communication with an audience. That's why I call it the most social of the various art forms.
Wole Soyinka
What is art but a way of seeing?
Saul Bellow
When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
Edward Steichen
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
Raymond Chandler
Art does not reproduce what we see rather, it makes us see.
Paul Klee
Your talent is your art. It is not to be taken for granted.
Paula Abdul
