“The passion for art is, as for believers, very religious. It unites people, its message is of common humanity. Art has become my religion - others pray in church. It's a banality, but you don't possess art, it possesses you.

“Art is universal. It unites mankind in common brotherhood. As a missionary of civilization, its message is both to heart and mind. Distinctions of tongue or boundary lines disappear before the power of truths, which, like the rainbow, charm by the beauty of variegated hues, or, combined with light, illuminate the universe. Moreover, art is the connecting link in the chain of great minds. Through its language, thought appeals to thought, and sympathy echoes feeling.” MindHeartArtFeelingsLightUniverseLanguageLinesCommonMankindCivilizationMessagesArt IsUniversalTongueDisappearBoundariesChainsAppealsCharmDistinctionLinksBrotherhoodMissionaryRainbowEchoesHeart And MindConnectingHueGreat Minds Book:Art-hints: Architecture, Sculpture and Painting Source: Art-hints: Architecture, Sculpture and Painting

“When movies tend to start to preach to me, I tend to shut them off, whether I agree with the message or not. I don't think the job of art is to preach, I think it's to ask questions and make people aware of differences and different ways of looking at things. That's what I want to do, anyway.
