There is one thing one has to have either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Art is a spiritual function of man, which aims at freeing him from life's chaos. Art is free in the use of its means in any way it likes, but is bound to its laws and to its laws alone.

A country that has few museums is both materially poor and spiritually poor...Museums, like theaters and libraries, are a means to freedom. — Wendy Beckett

A work becomes a work of art when one re-evaluates the values of nature and adds one's own spirituality. — Emil Nolde

The real Art of Peace is not to sacrifice a single one of your warriors to defeat an enemy. Vanquish your foes by always keeping yourself in a safe and unassailable position; then no one will suffer any losses. The Way of a Warrior, the Art of Politics, is to stop trouble before it starts. It consists in defeating your adversaries spiritually by making them realize the folly of their actions. The Way of a Warrior is to establish harmony. — Morihei Ueshiba

Growing up in this environment, I learned the art of Jiu Jitsu is actually a method through which one strives for self-perfection. — Carlos Gracie, Jr.

The great work of art is the complete banality, and the fault with most banalities is that they are not banal enough. Banality here is not infinite in its depth and consequence, but rests on a foundation of spirituality and aesthetics. — Asger Jorn

Art is the more spiritual side of education that really does saves lives and makes amazing individuals. — Mya
