Art Activism Quotes By Sebastiao Salgado

We are living in a moment where we have broken the equilibrium of the planet. We are not paying attention to our intuitive side. We only pay attention to our reason. We have become an urban animal — Sebastiao Salgado

Art Activism Quotes By Harold Cruse

In advanced societies it is not the race politicians or the "rights" leaders who create the new ideas and the new images of life and man. That role belongs to the artists and intellectuals of each generation. Let the race politicians, if they will, create political, economic or organizational forms of leadership; but it is the artists and the creative minds who will, and must, furnish the all important content. And in this role, they must not be subordinated to the whims and desires of politicians, race leaders and civil rights entrepreneurs whether they come from the Left, Right, or Center, or whether they are peaceful, reform, violent, non-violent or laissez-faire. Which means to say, in advanced societies the cultural front is a special one that requires special techniques not perceived, understood, or appreciated by political philistines. — Harold Cruse

Art Activism Quotes By Olga Kurylenko

I looked for acting classes in Paris just to do something different than modeling. And then one day I just thought, 'Okay, that's enough, I have to start doing something.'

Art Activism Quotes By Eve Ensler

Terence McKenna says, "The culture is not your friend." I am not sure we can change this culture. But I think we can rise above it and create a new world. That's why I so deeply believe in alternative spaces. That's why I believe in the power of art and activism. — Eve Ensler

Art Activism Quotes By Edward Bond

[The ruling class] sees people in the working class as being almost animals. It sees itself as being synonymous with civilization and its cultivation as coming from its natural abilities and not from its wealth and privileged opportunities. It doesn't see that the way in which it monopolizes these things distorts the culture it derives from them and that this makes its culture irrational and an enemy of civilization. — Edward Bond

Art Activism Quotes By Terri Windling

Charles de Lint creates a magical world that's not off in a distant Neverland but here and now and accessible, formed by the "magic" of friendship, art, community, and social activism. Although most of his books have not been published specifically for adolescents and young adults, nonetheless young readers find them and embrace them with particular passion. I've long lost count of the number of times I've heard people from troubled backgrounds say that books by Charles saved them in their youth, and kept them going. — Terri Windling

Art is not advocacy and advocacy is not art. — Erica Jong

Art Activism Quotes By Anita Roddick

If you can shape your business life or your working life, you can just look at it as another extension - you just fulfill all your values as a human being in the work place. If you are an activist, you bring the activism of your life into your business, or if you love creative art, you can bring that in. — Anita Roddick

Art Activism Quotes By Salma Hayek

Art and activism seem to go together naturally, the idea being that if you're an entertainer, you can have a voice, and if you have a voice, you can make a difference. But if I were not an actress, I would still try to extend myself beyond my little micro-universe of my job, family and personal joy. — Salma Hayek

Art Activism Quotes By Ian Svenonius

What is music in America? It's this stand-in for political action in a lot of senses. We have no democracy and we have no art culture, and we've long considered politics nebbish-y and hopelessly unsexy. So a lot of what would be considered political activism is channeled into cultural work. — Ian Svenonius

Art Activism Quotes By John Lurie

It seems like there are always gatekeepers. People between you and the people who are moved by your work. They often make a beautiful thing creepy. — John Lurie

Art Activism Quotes By Lee Maracle

My activism has to do with my conscience; I cannot let certain things slide without doing something. My public speaking is part of an art form that is cultural. — Lee Maracle

Art Activism Quotes By W. Somerset Maugham

There was an immeasurable distance between the quick and the dead: they did not seem to belong to the same species; and it was strange to think that but a little while before they had spoken and moved and eaten and laughed. — W. Somerset Maugham

Art Activism Quotes By Bill Ayers

Art and activism can be symbiotic. They don't have to be, of course; they can also be contradictory. — Bill Ayers

Art Activism Quotes By Scott Thompson

Art is about the edges and the sharp corners and those places are not conducive to activism, which is about putting on a gloss. — Scott Thompson

Art Activism Quotes By Jessa Crispin

Do you know that maxim "Write what you know"? Nonsense. That saying lets us off the hook for our more narcissistic impulses and for not trying to understand the world around us. The more a person learns - and this does not mean you need to get a PhD before you can work, merely that you nurture your curiosity and imagination - the more nuanced and complex his or her work becomes. Think — Jessa Crispin

From life to life, from breath to breath, we remember Elinor. — Malinda Lo

Art Activism Quotes By John Greenleaf Whittier

Freedom's soil hath only place For a free and fearless race! — John Greenleaf Whittier

Art Activism Quotes By Eoin Colfer

All we can hope for is that he will fall into the ocean with a bar of soap in his pocket. — Eoin Colfer

Art Activism Quotes By Camryn Manheim

I don't get it. I just don't get it. If Art is supposed to imitate Life, why do they want all the actors to be thin? There are fat people in the world. Shouldn't there be a few of us actors to represent them? — Camryn Manheim

Art Activism Quotes By Elie Wiesel

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference. — Elie Wiesel

Art Activism Quotes By John Burdett

I think it is immensely difficult to get the U.S. interested in non-U.S. topics. I don't think this is because the average American reader is disinterested, but more because of publishers playing it safe: if a thriller based in L.A. is a sure winner, why spend money plugging one based in Paris - or Bangkok? — John Burdett

Art Activism Quotes By Ayaan Hirsi Ali

On Egyptian television during a 2010 talk show, a Muslim cleric, Sa'd Arafat, reviewed the rules for beating one's wife. He began by saying, "Allah honored wives by installing the punishment of beating."21 Beating, he explained, was a legitimate punishment if a husband did not receive sexual satisfaction from his wife. But he added: "There is a beating etiquette." Beatings must avoid the face because they should not make a wife ugly. They must be done at chest level. He recommended using a short rod. — Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Oblivion cures the old wounds. — Dejan Stojanovic
