“Art is not a mere ‘luxury,’ but rather a vital ingredient in the lives of the peoples of Earth.”

“Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.”

“...a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit.”

“Where there are ads, there should be some art too.”

“Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.”

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
