LW Lyall Watson Author, Naturalist “Dancing is surely the most basic and relevant of all forms of expression. Nothing else can so effectively give outward form to an inner experience. Poetry and music exist in time. Painting and architecture are a part of space. But only the dance lives at once in both space and time. In it the creator and the thing created, the artist and the expression, are one. Each participates completely in the other. There could be no better metaphor for an understanding of the mechanics of the cosmos.” Artist Space Expression ♥ 17

Pablo Picasso Painter, Sculptor “What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he's a painter, or ears if he's a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he's a poet, or even, if he's a boxer, just his muscles? On the contrary, he's at the same time a political being, constantly alive to heart-rending, burning, or happy events in the world.” Heart Eye Artist ♥ 16
PR Prince Royce Musician “I think that sometimes fans or supporters say "I love this artist" but they may not realize that he loves them back.” Thinking May Artist ♥ 16
Bertrand Russell Philosopher, Mathematician “The teacher, like the artist, the philosopher, and the man of letters, can only perform his work adequately if he feels himself to be an individual directed by an inner creative impulse, not dominated and fettered by an outside authority.” Artist Teacher Creative ♥ 16
William Faulkner Novelist, Poet, Playwright “The quality an artist must have is objectivity in judging his work, plus the honesty and courage not to kid himself about it.” Kids Artist Honesty ♥ 16
Willie Nelson Musician, Actor “I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.” Thinking Artist Guy ♥ 16
