Art
(page 4)
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
When the bright angel dominates, out comes a great work of art, a Michelangelo David or a Beethoven symphony.
The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.
Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity.
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
It's an art to live with pain... mix the light into gray.
Do activities you're passionate about — which make your heart and soul feel perky — including things like working out, cooking, painting, writing, yoga, hiking, walking, swimming, being in nature, being around art, or reading inspiring books.
There's an art to asking questions. Briefings are valuable but normally communicate primarily what the subordinate leader wants you to know, and often the picture they provide is incomplete.
Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature — if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty — but mostly suffering!
I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons... some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.
No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do.
