Artists Quotes
My responsibility as an artist is to turn up at the page or the piano or the microphone. The rest is up to God.
Nick Cave
The person who wants nothing, hopes for nothing, and fears nothing can never be an artist.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists..

Willa Sibert Cather
The artist must imitate that which is within the thing, that which is active through form and figure, and discourses to us by symbols.

Willa Sibert Cather
All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up.
James Baldwin
One hundred artists introduce us to one hundred worlds.
William Baziotes
Most artists go potty as they get older: dafter and madder as they get more celibate. So I am consciously going to do that.
