Art should feel like this stay-up-all-night, abandon thoughts of all else, crazy passionate thing.
"We work in the dark/
We do what we can/
We give what we have/
Our doubt is our passion/
And our passion is our task/
The rest is the madness of art."
-Henry James

Henry James
I would love to be described this way:
"She was a woman who, between courses, could be graceful with her elbows on the table."

Treme
It may just be the tagline for a tv series that I saw on the side of a telephone booth, but I thought it was beautiful and hopeful.
"Wrap your troubles in dreams."

Washington Irving
I've been a little emotional lately and this reminds me that it's ok to feel like that - crying is not just the habit of a silly girl.
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love."
-Washington Irving
