“For his heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.”– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Related Quotes “The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing.”– Doris Humphrey “Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement… for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.”– Max Beckmann “There’s a lot of thought in art. People get to talk about important things. There’s a lot of sex, you know, in art. There’s a lot of naked women and men, and there’s intrigue, there’s fakery. It’s a real microcosm of the larger world.”– Steve Martin
