If art does not enlarge men's sympathies, it does nothing morally.

George Eliot

Oscar Wilde

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is unsurpassed at presenting more than 50 centuries of work. I go there constantly, seeing things over and over, better than I've ever seen them before.

Jerry Saltz

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Oscar Wilde

Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Art is either plagiarism or revolution.

Paul Gauguin
