“Not "Seeing is Believing," you ninny, but "Believing is Seeing." For modern art has become completely literary: the paintings and other works exist only to illustrate the text.”
Tom Wolfe
“I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.”
Oscar Wilde
“San Francisco itself is art, above all literary art. Every block is a short story, every hill a novel. Every home a poem, every dweller within immortal. That is the whole truth.”
William Saroyan

Robertson Davies
“Having been an English literary graduate, I've been trying to avoid the idea of doing art ever since.”
Douglas Adams
“In the art gallery, listeners are given a fuller, more multidisciplinary experience. It's a way of getting literary people into the gallery, and the attendees of the readings get to experience the artwork as well.”
Anna Monardo
“I can't do literary work for the rest of this year because I'm meditating another lawsuit and looking around for a defendant”
Mark Twain
