Arts-related quotes

Just some interesting quotes and phrases I've heard over the past few days. I won't try to analyze these for you.

Photography is the language of travel (National Geographic Travel Photography Seminar / Jim Richardson)

Idea-based assets (Wall Street Journal)

The purpose of art is to inform and delight (Horace)

Art is a survival mechanism for the human species (Milton Glaser)

The shortest distance between two people is a story (?)

Information expands the capacity of the mind to change. Persuasion limits that capacity. Beliefs must be held lightly, because certainty is frequently the enemy of truth. (Milton Glaser, Where the Truth Lies: A Symposium on Propaganda Today, keynote speech, Feb. 15, 2008)
