Here's my favorite art quote from Groucho:
"Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know."
Groucho Marx
(from “Animal Crackers” Paramount Pictures, 1930)

"I am a painter. I nail my pictures." - Kurt Schwitters
"Never again will we drink so young." - Guy-Debord - Panegyric
"I don't want to be educated, I want to be drowned in beauty." (Diana Vreeland - Talking about the Metropolitan Museum of Art's costume insitute)
"Man plays only when he is in the full sense of the word a man and he is only wholly human when he is playing." -Friedrich Schiller
"Oh, never mind, It's all part of life's rich banquet, you know" - peter sellers in "A Shot in the Dark"
"If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?" (unattributed)

The depth breathes on the surface.The surfaces say, 'We breathe in the depths.' They always get away with it, and this is what causes our solitude.
Jean Cocteau
