The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence, to recreate it in the eternal.

More quotes by George Santayana

Perhaps the only true dignity of man is his capacity to despise himself.

Our dignity is not in what we do, but what we understand.

The diseases which destroy a man are no less natural than the instincts which preserve him.

The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.

Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.

Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.

Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.

The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
