The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully.

I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends living like starving artists and wonder 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.

The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.

All great art is the work of the whole living creature body and soul and chiefly of the soul.

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them for these only gave them life those the art of living well.

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
