The most momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.
I've lost much of my heart and the spark or fire that once 'created,' or produced, the art of fiction.
Somebody informed me recently that the key to every art, from writing to gardening to sculpture, is creativity. I beg to differ.

A certain rough-around-the-edges improvisational looseness - a sense of something coming together before your eyes, or not quite - may be one of the things that distinguishes performance art from theater.
Objects in a park suggest static repose rather than any ongoing dialectic. Parks are finished landscapes for finished art .
I think people are 'just creative,' and this can be expressed in a number of ways. Bob Dylan and David Bowie create both music and art.
I like all sorts of art, that's why I love wandering around The National Gallery.
I love fashion. I love couture. I'm going to erect a shelf in my bedroom with an art light to be the spot for the shoes of the month.
