"Any great work of art ... revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world—the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air." ~ Leonard Bernstein

"Art has got nothing to do with taste." ~ Max Ernst

"No matter how much utter disdain I have for the work of a particular artist, I would still rather that he had created those works than hadn't." ~ Derek R. Audette
