"Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it." ― Friedrich Nietzsche Topic(s): Art Tags: admiration, quality More From Friedrich Nietzsche "Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman." "Love is not consolation. It is light." "What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself in man." More In Art "Art cannot result from sophisticated, frivolous, or superficial effects."― Hans Hofmann "Good manners is the art of making those people easy with whom we converse. Whoever makes the fewest people uneasy is the best bred in the room."― Jonathan Swift "I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I’ve just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it’s not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters."― Sylvester Stallone
