“A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.”
Paul Cezanne
“In the vaunted works of Art, The master-stroke is Nature's part”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
Oscar Wilde
“The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.”
Pablo Picasso
“No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight of the soul”
Ingrid Bergman
“The personal stuff for me is the best, ... And this one felt a little raw emotionally. I wanted to capture some stuff, to see if I could get it right. The way it feels to lose a loved one and find a reason to celebrate, oddly enough, as a result of learning who you are.”
Cameron Crowe
“All sensitive people agree that there is a peculiar emotion provoked by works of art.”
Clive Bell
