“(Antique clocks) need servicing just like your automobile or anything else. They’re mechanical, and about every 10 years you should have them cleaned. That’s the way they last forever.” – William Baldwin

“I think we can still be that antique mecca, and I think we can also capture the flavor of what we were when Dean and I were growing up, where there were businesses people who live here could actually use. I think there’s something here – a spirit, a feeling of love and acceptance – that we have to make sure we don’t lose. If we keep that, I think we can remain the welcoming, loving town we’ve always been.” – Elaine Davis

“In a region of unmatched historical heritage … there is a circumstance where the restoration of these hallmarks of antiquity can draw tourists, artists, scientists, business individuals, historians,” – John Ashcroft

“We don’t have a lot of antiques, and I like to mix and match comfortable sofas with funky items on the walls.” – Rex Rankin

“We ended up building a little Japan with cobblestone streets, bridges, a river, period buildings and antique props in Ventura, … For the final scenes, we filmed in Kyoto temples that had never allowed filming before. But all throughout, we have tried to pay great respect to Japanese culture. I found the story very daunting to tell, as an American. I especially wanted to honor the profession because a lot of people in the West still don’t know what geishas really are. The challenge for me was to bring a beautiful fable to life, to lift the veil on the beauty, joy and heartbreak of being a geisha.” – Rob Marshall

“There is a lot of antique jewelry being sold now, showing how the Victorian look is also coming back. There will be a lot of lacey, feminine, mature tops for girls to wear this spring.” – Jennifer Bennett

It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it –just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore. – Albert Camus

The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily. No great work has ever been based on hatred and contempt. On the contrary, there is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it. – Albert Camus

Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art. – Angela Carter

Abstract art is a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered. – Al Capp

Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is. – Willa Cather

The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture. – Raymond Chandler

Inspiring Quotations for Collectors

Inspiring Quotations for Collectors
If you are an admirer of antiques and collectibles and looking for inspiring collectible quotations then this blog comprising of beautiful collection quotes would surely be of an interest to you. Read on!

Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother’s womb. – Jean Arp

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane. – Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno

All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up. – James Baldwin

The man who can but sketch his purpose beforehand in words is regarded as a wonder, and every artist and writer possesses that faculty. But gestation, fruition, the laborious rearing of the offspring, putting it to bed every night full fed with milk, embracing it anew every morning with the inexhaustible affection of a mother’s heart, licking it clean, dressing it a hundred times in the richest garb only to be instantly destroyed; then never to be cast down at the convulsions of this headlong life till the living masterpiece is perfected which in sculpture speaks to every eye, in literature to every intellect, in painting to every memory, in music to every heart! –this is the task of execution. The hand must be ready at every moment to work in obedience to the mind. – Honore de Balzac, Cousin Bette

The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute. – Charles Baudelaire

We hope that this compilation of collectible quotes inspired you to redefine your approach towards antiques and collectibles.
