"Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth."
"Creation always involves building upon something else. There is no art that doesnt reuse. And there will be less art if every reuse is taxed by the appropriator."

Art is a diverse range of cultural activity centered around works utilizing creative or imaginative talents, which are expected to evoke a worthwhile experience, generally through an expression of emotional power, conceptual ideas, technical proficiency, or beauty.
"Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth."
"It is the glory and good of Art, That Art remains the one way possible Of speaking truth, to mouths like mine at least."
"The transformation of an atomistic into a communitarian society depends on creating again the opportunity for people to sing together, walk together, dance together, admire together—together, and not, to use Riesmans succinct expression, as a member of a "lonely crowd."
"Collective art,"… is not an individual "leisure time" occupation, added to life, it is an integral part of life. It corresponds to a basic human need, and if this is not fulfilled, man remains as insecure and anxious as if the need for a meaningful thought picture of the world were unrealized."
"On the whole, our modern ritual is impoverished and does not fulfill mans need for collective art and ritual."
"As all Natures thousand changes But one changeless God proclaim; So in Arts wide kingdom ranges One sole meaning still the same: This is Truth, eternal Reason, Which from Beauty takes its dress, And serene through time and season Stands for aye in loveliness."
