We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life.

我们关心的是艺术和生活之间的关系。当代艺术只有在与我们生活的关系中才能被理解。

We are cutting things kids like-music, art, and gym classes; stuff that kept me in school. This country can't survive without you kids. It's all about you kids.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

我们反复做的事造就了我们。因此，卓越不是一种行为，而是一种习惯。

We do not judge great art. It judges us.

我们不评判伟大的艺术。我们法官。

We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.

We have art in order not to die of the truth.

我们有艺术是为了不为真理而死。

We have our arts so we won't die of Truth.

我们有我们的艺术，所以我们不会死于真理。

We may not like our times or many aspects of the time we live in but that is not the fault of art as such.

We must do our work for its own sake, not for fortune or attention or applause.

We must have design in a picture even at the expense of truth. You are using nature for your artistic needs.

我们必须以牺牲真理为代价来设计一幅画。你在利用自然来满足你的艺术需求。

We must not imitate the externals of nature with so much fidelity that the picture fails to evoke that wonderful teasing recurrence of emotion that marks the contemplation of a work of art.

我们不能过于逼真地模仿自然的外在，以致于这幅画不能唤起人们对一件艺术作品沉思时那种引人入胜的情感的再现。

We need more theatres, more art and more culture in this country.

我们国家需要更多的剧院、更多的艺术和更多的文化。
