More From Charles Baudelaire
- "Our religion is itself profoundly sad – a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man’s own language – so long as he knows anguish and is a painter."
- "God is the only being who, in order to reign, doesn’t even need to exist."
- "This life is a hospital in which every patient is possessed with a desire to change his bed."

- "We settled this continent without art. So it was easy for us to treat it as an imported luxury, not a necessity."― Arthur Erickson
- "Art depends on luck and talent."― Francis Ford Coppola
- "Many art-worlders have an if-you-say-so approach to art: Everyone is so scared of missing out on the next hot artist that it’s never clear whether people are liking work because they like it or because other people do. Everyone is keeping up with the Joneses, and there are more Joneses than ever."― Jerry Saltz
