Life Celebration Quotes
Albert Camus
Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Albert Einstein
A human being experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.
Erykah Badu
Art gives us the illusion of liberation from the sordid business of being.
Fernando Pessoa
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
John F. Kennedy
Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world.
Lady Gaga
Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.
Marilyn Manson
Nikola Tesla
The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. No big laboratory is needed in which to think. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born. That is why many of the earthly miracles have had their genesis in humble surroundings.
Oscar Wilde
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.
Thomas Mann
One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.
Thom Yorke
Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
Victor Hugo
I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
William Morris
A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.
Vladimir Nabokov
