“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
W. Somerset Maugham book The Summing Up
Source: The Summing Up (1938), p. 310
“The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure.”
Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) Armatian
As quoted in A Rockwell Portrait : An Intimate Biography (1978) by Donald Walton, p. 251
Context: The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.
Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator, and a key figure in Spanish language literature
The Garden of Forking Paths (1942), The Garden of Forking Paths
Context: Ts'ui Pe must have said once: I am withdrawing to write a book. And another time: I am withdrawing to construct a labyrinth. Every one imagined two works; to no one did it occur that the book and the maze were one and the same thing.
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) American author and journalist
Letter (21 February 1952); published in Ernest Hemingway: Selected Letters 1917–1961 (1981) edited by Carlos Baker
Context: I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F. B. I.-men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep-hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.
“You have to recognize those writers who are artists in the same sense as the musicians.”
Clare Fischer (1928–2012) American keyboardist, composer, arranger, and bandleader
As quoted in "Meet Clare Fischer" http://cdassassin.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/1999-interview-at-allaboutjazz-com/
M. Ward (1973) singer-songwriter and guitarist
On his album Post-War and the postwar music of the late 1940s and 50s, as quoted in Vanity Fair (August 2006)
