I decided to start a thread with a theme. This is about Art.
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Marshall McLuhan
All that I desire to point out is the general principle that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
Oscar Wilde
An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.
Charles Horton Cooley
An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world.
George Santayana

Auguste Rodin quotes (French sculptor of bronze and marble figures, 1840-1917)
''The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.”,
also Rodin.
“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.”
Henry Ward Beecher quotes (Liberal US Congregational minister, 1813-1887)
