Oscar Wilde

Nature constantly imitates art.

Oscar Wilde

Katherine Moennig

Octavio Paz

Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.

Sophia Loren

I feel like art imitates life and life imitates art.

Habit, if wisely and skillfully formed, becomes truly a second nature; but unskillfully and unmethodically depicted, it will be as it were an ape of nature, which imitates nothing to the life, but only clumsily and awkwardly
