Art is much more than a hobby or a pastime. It has an eternal message from the past to the future. Every true artist should try to make efforts to convey this message both to his nation and to the humanity at large.

Art simply expresses things that cannot be put in words, it’s a conversation for your eyes, and it makes you look at things differently. That’s just wonderful!

Art is a manifestation of emotion, and emotion speaks a language that all may understand

The activity of art is... as important as the activity of language itself, and as universal.

Art is the most effective mode of communications that exists.

Art is a universal language that can unite the hearts of mankind, crossing all frontiers, penetrating everywhere. The moment has come for the 'people of the book' - Jews, Christians, Muslims - to speak openly to one another and to see clearly the close cultural, social, spiritual and intellectual ties that have existed between them for centuries. In fact, Jews and Muslims are cousins, and I believe it is far better for us to live together in peace and harmony, than die together in disgrace

The Arts, especially film, transcend all cultural barriers, hopefully offering an avenue where all people can find a common place to meet, understand each other, and nurture a safe world for all our children to grow strong within.

Any art is a concentrated feeling of love elevated to a world view and translated into an artistic language of symbols.

Every art communicates because it expresses. It enables us to share vividly and deeply in meanings… For communication is not announcing things… Communication is the process of creating participation, of making common what had been isolated and singular… the conveyance of meaning gives body and definiteness to the experience of the one who utters as well as to that of those who listen.

Art is a human activity having for its purpose the transmission to others of the highest and best feelings to which men have risen.

Art isn't only a painting; it's anything that changes someone for the better, any nonanonymous interaction that leads to a human (not simply a commercial) conclusion.

In a way, artists are messengers between worlds, bringing ideas and symbols from one to the other.

By words one transmits thoughts to another, by means of art, one transmits feelings.

Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.
