Thomas Mann Quotes About Art

Quotes about: Art

• Art is the funnel, as it were, through which spirit is poured into life.

  Thomas Mann

  Art, Spirit, Art Is

• Even in a personal sense, after all, art is an intensified life. By art one is more deeply satisfied and more rapidly used up. It engraves on the countenance of its servant the traces of imaginary and intellectual adventures, and even if he has outwardly existed in cloistral tranquility, it leads in the long term to overfastidiousness, over-refinement, nervous fatigue and overstimulation, such as can seldom result from a life of the most extravagant passions and pleasures.

  Thomas Mann

  Art, Passion, Adventure

• To allow only the kind of art that the average man understands is the worst small-mindedness and the murder of mind and spirit. It is my conviction that the intellect can be certain that in doing what most disconcerts the crowd, in pursuing the most daring, unconventional advances and explorations, it will in some highly indirect fashion serve man - and in the long run, all men.

  Thomas Mann

  Running, Fashion, Art
