“The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.”– Friedrich Nietzsche Related Quotes “Magic becomes art when it has nothing to hide.”– Ben Okri “What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth-and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love.”– Lady Gaga “To my mind the old masters are not art their value is in their scarcity.”– Thomas A. Edison
