A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
艺术家
Artist
Far from wishing to awaken the artist in the pupil prematurely, the teacher considers it his first task to make him a skilled artisan with sovereign control of his craft.
老师并不想过早地唤醒学生心中的艺术家，而是把把他培养成一个掌握自己技艺的熟练工匠当作自己的首要任务。
I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face.
当我还是个孩子的时候，我最想做的就是成为一名小说家。如果你告诉我长大后要当艺术家或小说家，我会当面笑话你。
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
艺术家是情感的容器，情感来自四面八方:来自天空，来自大地，来自一张纸片，来自一个路过的形状，来自一张蜘蛛网。
The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
最好的艺术家只有大理石外壳里的那种思想;雕刻家的手只能解除咒语，把沉睡在石头里的人解救出来。
For a long time I wanted to be a comic strip artist but when I started doing them in my teens they were getting really elaborate with tons of poses and a lot of information.
很长一段时间以来，我一直想成为一名连环漫画艺术家，但当我十几岁开始画漫画时，它们变得非常精致，有大量的姿势和信息。
A work of art is one through which the consciousness of the artist is able to give its emotions to anyone who is prepared to receive them. There is no such thing as bad art.
艺术作品是艺术家的意识能够将其情感传达给任何准备接受它们的人的作品。没有什么不好的艺术。
If something is successful with the audience, it's automatically suspect; the reverse is to say that not to reach audiences is the greatest compliment an artist can receive!
如果某件事在观众中获得了成功，观众自然会怀疑;反过来说，不触及观众是艺术家所能得到的最大赞美!
It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
艺术家的天性就是过分在意别人对他的评价。文学作品中到处都是一些人的残迹，他们对他人的观点有着超越理性的看法。
The function of the artist is to disturb...In a world terrified of change, he preaches revolution--the principle of life...He is the creative spirit working in the soul of man.
艺术家的作用是干扰……在一个惧怕变革的世界里，他宣扬革命——生命的原则……他是人类灵魂中的创造精神。
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
现代艺术史也是一部艺术受众逐步流失的历史。艺术越来越受到艺术家的关注和公众的困惑。
I think that an artist is a bit like a computer. He receives information from the world around him and from his past and from his own experiences. And it all goes into the brain.
我认为艺术家有点像电脑。他从周围的世界，从他的过去，从他自己的经历中获得信息。这些都进入大脑。
Generally, when a record label suggests album ideas for you, you smile politely, and then proceed to shoot it down, because it's never what you as an artist feel is right for you.
一般来说，当唱片公司向你推荐专辑的创意时，你会礼貌地微笑，然后继续把它拍下来，因为作为一名艺术家，你从来没有觉得这是适合你的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
艺术家就是那些创造出人们不需要的东西的人。
The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above.
有一天，这位艺术家从荆棘上的一个洞里掉了下去，从那一刻起，他就沿着一条地下河的黑色急流前进。
Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.
像专业人士一样学习规则，这样你就能像艺术家一样打破规则。
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。
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
没有伟大的艺术家能看到事物的本来面目。如果他这样做了，他就不再是艺术家了。
An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.
艺术家的报酬不是他的劳动，而是他的远见卓识。
