| I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process. | | Vincent van Gogh | |
| I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners. | | Vincent van Gogh | |

| I suggest that the great art belongs to all people, all the time--that indeed it is made for the people, by the people, to the people. | | Maya Angelou | |
| I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky. | | Katharine Hepburn | |
| I think of art, at its most significant, as a DEW line, a Distant Early Warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it. | | Marshall McLuhan | |
| I want to do drawings which touch people...In figure or landscape I should wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow. | | Vincent van Gogh | |
| I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art. | | Kahlil Gibran | |
| If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. | | John Fitzgerald Kennedy | |
| In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire | | Ralph Waldo Emerson | |
| In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters. | | Paul Gauguin | |
| In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble. | | Paul Gauguin | |
| Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight. | | François-Auguste Rodin | |
| It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression. | | Oscar Wilde | |
| It is not a disgrace to fail. Failing is one of the greatest arts in the world. | | Charles F. Kettering | |
| It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill- it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy. | | Vincent van Gogh | |
| It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors | | Oscar Wilde | |
| It is through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection; through Art and Art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence | | Oscar Wilde | |
| Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more. | | Vincent van Gogh | |
