“One thing is certain: the arts keep you alive. They stimulate, encourage, challenge, and, most of all, guarantee a future free from boredom. They allow growth and even demand it in that time of life we call maturity but too often enter it with a childish faith that what we learned in youth is sustenance enough for the years when most men are mentally famished but won’t admit it—or when they are apt to curb their hunger with the sops of complacency, security, and the assurance of death.”  ― Vincent Price, I Like What I Know: A Visual Autobiography

“Art is love-times-love; the creator loves it and his audience adores it. To miss the sensation of loving art is to miss a kind of parenthood—false pregnancy perhaps—but as Van Gogh said, “If, defrauded of the power to create physically, a man tries to create thoughts in place of children, he is still part of humanity”…a big part.” →  Vincent Price (May 27, 1911 - October 25, 1993) - I Like What I Know: A Visual Autobiography
