"The sadness of the incomplete, the sadness that is often Life, but should never be Art." ― E. M. Forster Topic(s): Art More From E. M. Forster "Tolerance is a very dull virtue. It is boring. Unlike love, it has always had a bad press. It is negative. It merely means putting up with people, being able to stand things." "Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch." "Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don’t believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art’s sake." More In Art "The greatest work of art about New York? The question seems nebulous. The city’s magic and majesty are distilled in the photographs of Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand."― Jerry Saltz "The difference between art about death and actual death is that one’s a celebration and the other’s a dull fact."― Damien Hirst "The beauty one can find in art is one of the pitifully few real and lasting products of human endeavor."― Paul Getty
