“The primary function of art is not to imitate or represent or interpret, but to create a living thing; it is the reduction of all life to a perfectly composed and dynamic miniature - a microcosm where there is perfect balance of emotion and intellect, stress and strain resolving itself, form rhythmically poised in three dimensions.” ArtFormThreePerfectEmotionBalanceArt IsFunctionStressIntellectPrimariesDimensionsStrainLiving ThingsReductionMiniaturesMicrocosmPerfect BalanceThree Dimensions Author:Lawren Harris

“I think that movies can help guide us through those experiences [the problems that are happening in our daily lives, the stresses between countries, the economy and global warming]. I think all art tries to grapple with, redefine, come to terms with, express what's happening now when it's working. You can be entertained, but you can also be stimulated to think about things.” ThinkingTryingArtCountryHelpingProblemTermEconomyHappeningsStressGuidesGlobal WarmingDaily Life Author:Nicolas Cage

“Making art, being creative, is risky, especially for actors, but everybody on the set is being creative. You're putting yourself out there with ideas, and to have your brain be free of stress so that it can actually do its best work, it feels like you want to have a real sense of intimacy and connection and trust with everybody.” WantFeelsArtIdeasRealActorsBrainCreativeLike YouArt IsConnectionsStressIntimacyWorking ItBe CreativeBest WorkPutting Yourself Out There Author:Lynn Shelton
“The greatest opportunities for creative transformation are often lodged in our discontents. Art is an alchemical process that feeds on emotional energy. When we realize that a perfect equilibrium in our lives might not be the best basis for making art, then we can begin to re-vision our stress points. So rather than try to rid your life of tension, consider doing something more creative with it.” TryingArtMightOpportunityEnergyProcessRealizingPerfectVisionCreativeOur LivesEmotionalArt IsBasesStressTransformationTensionBeing The BestDiscontentEquilibriumEmotional Energy Book:Trust the Process Source: Trust the Process
“I decided when I was a kid that I would only go out of the house if I felt good enough to be bothered. Could I be interrupted at dinner? Am I in the mood? If I am, I go out. If I'm not, I don't! So, it's the art of deciding what the truth of your job is, and what you can and cannot handle. You can design your stresses.” IfsArtEnoughKidsJobsHouseFeltDesignDecidedStressDinnerMoodHandleGood EnoughBotheredInterrupted Author:John Travolta
“For me, architecture is an art the same as painting is an art or sculpture is an art. Yet, architecture moves a step beyond painting and sculpture because it is more than using materials. Architecture responds to functional outputs and environmental factors. Yet, fundamentally, it is important for me to stress the art in architecture to bring harmony.” ArtImportantMovingStepsPaintingMaterialsStressHarmonyEnvironmentalArchitectureFactorsSculptureOutputEnvironmental Factors Author:Santiago Calatrava
“The group is enthusiastic about making art, but it's also a good excuse to get together with friends and to enjoy each other's company and to catch up on what's going on with us. Our attitude to making music is carefree and we don't stress about it at all. If music or a particular feeling doesn't come out willingly, we'll force it out.” ArtFeelingsTogetherEnjoyAttitudeMusic IsStressExcuseEnthusiasticCarefree Author:Jussi Lehtisalo
“I personally hated working out when I first started, but then I noticed it was the one thing I did for myself. It gave me more energy and made me feel more confident. I started rolling with it. I love going for jogs and walks in the morning with my cousin. Sometimes we do sunrise walks where we'll be up before the sun comes up and by the time it does we're up and going. It's really nice. I also started training MMA, mixed martial arts to keep it fun.

“I learned how the brain is the softest organ we have - how soft the brain literally is and also how easily it can be manipulated.

“Conversations...begin with the sort of imaginative engagement you get when you read a novel or watch a movie or attend to a work of art that speaks from some place other than your own. So I'm using the word 'conversation' not only for literal talk but also as a metaphor for engagement with the experience and ideas of others. And I stress the role of the imagination here because the encounters, properly conducted, are valuable in themselves. Conversation doesn't have to lead to consensus about anything, especially not values; it's enough that it helps people get used to one another.” PeopleArtIdeasEnoughHelpingUsedValuesSpeakImaginationRolesWatchesNovelConversationStressMetaphorValuableEncountersWorks Of ArtEngagementImaginativeConsensusLiteral Author:Kwame Anthony Appiah
“We need a new kind of feminism, one that stresses personal responsibility and is open to art and sex in all their dark, unconsoling mysteries.
