Guillaume Apollinaire Artist Quotations

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

I hate artists who are not of their time.

Without artists, the order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish.

Without artists, the sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed.

Without poets, without artists... everything would fall apart into chaos. There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit.
