Architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and poetry, may truly be called the efflorescence of civilised life.
All false art, all vain wisdom, lasts its time but finally destroys itself, and its highest culture is also the epoch of its decay. - Immanuel Kant

He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it. - Leo Tolstoy
This is supposed to be an art form, not just a manufacturing establishment. The sensitivity that helps me to act, you see, also makes me react. An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. - Marilyn Monroe
It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.' - Matthew McConaughey
