A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
艺术家
Artist
I don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.
我不认为任何有价值的艺术家不怀疑他们在做什么。
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
尚未雕刻的大理石可以容纳伟大艺术家所有思想的形式。
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
在任何事情上追求完美的艺术家，在任何事情上都无法达到完美。
So I don't think of myself as just a musician at all, I think of myself as an artist.
所以我不认为自己只是一个音乐家，我认为自己是一个艺术家。
Any authentic work of art must start an argument between the artist and his audience.
任何真正的艺术作品都必须在艺术家和观众之间引起争论。
Frost is the greatest artist in our clime - he paints in nature and describes in rime.
弗罗斯特是我们这个时代最伟大的艺术家——他在大自然中作画，在雾凇中作画。
I'm inspired by nature. Other artist's work is important for developing my perception.
我受到大自然的启发。其他艺术家的作品对培养我的认知很重要。
An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
艺术家总是孤独的——如果他是艺术家的话。不，艺术家需要的是孤独。
To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.
对我来说，艺术家之所以成为艺术家，是因为他们敢于展现自己独特的个性。
Beware of artists they mix with all classes of society and are therefore most dangerous.
小心艺术家，他们与社会的各个阶层混在一起，因此是最危险的。

If they think that an artist can destroy their faith, then their faith is rather fragile.
如果他们认为一个艺术家可以摧毁他们的信仰，那么他们的信仰是相当脆弱的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
As an artist you actually do have to make a choice to be an outsider. If you're an outsider you have the freedom to say what people on the inside don't dare to say.
作为一个艺术家，你必须做出一个选择，成为一个局外人。如果你是一个局外人，你有自由说出内心不敢说的话。
If it is the mark of the artist to love art before everything, to renounce everything for its sake, to think all the sweet human things of life well lost if only he may attain something, do some good, great work - then I was never an artist.
如果这是艺术家的标志，爱艺术先于一切，放弃一切，为艺术而放弃一切，认为只要他能得到一些东西，做一些好事，伟大的工作，生活中所有美好的东西就会失去，那么我从来就不是一个艺术家。
The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.
艺术家的世界是无限的。它可以在任何地方找到，远离他住的地方或几英尺远。它总是在他的门阶上。
I don't even like to talk about it. I hated being a number and not merely because I was a very small one. I let them bellow at me for just as long as it took me to find enough pluck to bellow back at them.
我甚至不喜欢谈论它。我讨厌成为一个数字，不仅仅是因为我是一个非常小的数字。我让他们对我吼叫，直到我找到足够的勇气对他们吼叫为止。
Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.
经验是最好的老师。对于这一点，并不能保证一个人会成为艺术家。只有旅行才重要。
An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else's.
艺术家唯一关心的是追求某种完美，而且是按照他自己的方式，而不是别人的方式。
