The whole history of modern poetry is a continuous commentary on the short text of philosophy: every art should become science, and every science should become art; poetry and philosophy should be united.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?

Michel Foucault

If Bombay can become Mumbai, Bangalore can become Bengaluru, Madras can become Chennai, and Calcutta can become Kolkota, there is no reason why Allahabad should not become Prayagraj and Faizabad should not become Ayodhya. To re-establish our original identity, we have renamed these places. I am happy that people have welcomed this.

Yogi Adityanath

By and large, the making of serious, thoughtful and occasionally valuable art has become a lonely persuasion, while the marketing of art has become a boutique operation, manipulated by fashion, self-serving art scholars and the vagaries of the auction block.

Abe Ajay

The subject of contemporary art should include a political dimension, the distrust contemporary art has towards the existing order. One manifestation of this distrust is the mechanical dichotomization between art's form and its political content; the other is the institutionalizing tendency of anti-institutionalization. We almost never resist ourselves - the part of ourselves that has been institutionalized. We have occupied the word "resistance" and have become its owner, while "resistance" has become our servant. Thus, we own "resistance" and occupy it as a position of power.

Wang Jianwei

The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.

Okakura Kakuzo

Art should walk a tightrope. That's what art should be. Art should be dangerous. You can't be scared to say something with it. People love to talk about how comics are real art and real literature, so why not use these characters to talk about real things, even if it is dangerous?

Jeff Lemire

Artists should not look to the left or the right. Art should be strong and nonconformist - and most importantly, art should always be personal.

Isa Genzken

True art means if it helps you to become silent, still, joyous; if it gives you a celebration, if it makes you dance—whether anybody participates with you or not is irrelevant. If it becomes a bridge between you and God, that is true art. If it becomes a meditation, that is true art. If you become absorbed in it, so utterly absorbed that the ego disappears, that is true art.

Rajneesh

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.

Maya Lin

Art should not be a tool of politics, but sometimes art can help make the political climate more open and help society become more free.

Cai Guo-Qiang

My advice to young wrestlers is that your surroundings really make a difference. You want to put yourself in good, positive surroundings.

Dan Gable

Patriotism is a feeling that grows as you become conscious of your surroundings.

Jubin Nautiyal

In retrospect I can see that my desire to create abstractions has become more and more radical. Art should not be delivering a report on reality, but should be looking at what's behind something.

Andreas Gursky

Art should live in the heart of the people. Ordinary people should have the same ability to understand art as anybody else. I don't think art is elite or mysterious.

Ai Weiwei

The power to become habituated to his surroundings is a marked characteristic of mankind.

John Maynard Keynes
