• If we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.
  Maya Angelou Quotes - Poets
• We have got to start loving life and the living. We have to respect that thing which we cannot create, which is life and stop taking it from people and stop taking it from things. Stop taking it. We can't make it. We can't reproduce one single person.
  Maya Angelou Quotes - Poets
• Love costs all we are
  and will ever be.
  Yet it is only love
  which sets us free.
  Maya Angelou Quotes - Poets
• All artists are vain, they long to be recognised and to leave something to posterity. They want to be loved, and at the same time they want to be free. But nobody is free.
  Francis Bacon Quotes - Artists
• The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure; it’s a little like making love, the physical act of love.
  Francis Bacon Quotes - Artists
• We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream, and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.

• I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

  John Cusack Quotes - Actors
• I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself.. and that's a long process.

  Ram Dass Quotes - New Age Teachers
• I’m not interested in being a “lover.” I’m interested in only being love.
  Ram Dass Quotes - New Age Teachers
• The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it’s in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I’m caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.
  Ram Dass Quotes - New Age Teachers
• I have a hatred of habit and routine. And what dogs love is just that. They like regular everything, and I don't have regular anything. I have a timetable, but no routine.

  Anne Geddes Quotes - Women - Photographers
• We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.
  Goethe Quotes - Motivational People
• Our galleries are soft (Thomas Kinkade galleries). You don't echo when you walk in. It's comfortable. There's a fireplace burning. There's a person sitting here who's not an art expert. We don't hire art experts. We hire people who love art and love people. And when you walk in, you're greeted, and the experience is entirely different.
  Thomas Kinkade Quotes - Artists
• I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery.
  Jeff Koons Quotes - Artists
• I feel that the essence of spiritual practice is your attitude toward others. When you have a pure, sincere motivation, then you have right attitude toward others based on kindness, compassion, love and respect.
  Dalai Lama Quotes - Religious Teachers
• When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. And there are ways in which we can consciously work to develop feelings of love and kindness.

  Edvard Munch Quotes - Artists
• When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.
  M. Scott Peck Quotes - Self Improvement
• Ultimately love is everything.
  M. Scott Peck Quotes - Self Improvement

  Pablo Picasso Quotes - meaning - Spanish Artists
• Have pity, mean girl. I can't go on. I can't go another day without seeing you. Atrocious madness, it's the end, I won't be able to work anymore. Malevolent goddess, and yet I love you furiously. (Rodin writing to his lover Camille Claudel)
  Auguste Rodin Quotes - Sculptors
• At the present time I really have no religion at all. But I love and respect all religions and philosophies. I see how they get formed, how they grow up, and how powerful they are. But for me to believe in a specific god.. no.
  Don Miguel Ruiz Quotes - New Age Teachers

  Charles Saatchi Quotes - Art Collectors

  Tarkan Quotes - Singers
• My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on till art lovers feel drawn toward it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it.
  Vincent van Gogh Quotes - Artists
• I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
