“We're excited to have two more SONY BMG artists achieve Platinum and Gold milestones on Sprint, ... The success we've seen with Music Tones on Sprint is a great indication that the market for mobile music is continuing to gain momentum.”
Thomas Hesse
“Every artist was first an amateur.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good; but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.”
Henry Mille
“The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.”
Cyril Connolly
“Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he is a poet, or, if he is merely a boxer, only his muscle? On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heartrending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.”
Pablo Picasso
