"I'art pour I'art" should be "l'art pour l'art".

I'm only nitpicking because I recently started compiling a list of interesting quotes and intend to save this one :)

Is this some kind of affirmational statement, kind of a counter to "ceci n'est pas une pipe"????

It basically suggests an intrinsic motivation in something. The pipe statement suggests that there is a difference between an actual thing and a representation of it.

You wrote the same quote twice.

I had to read it over and ended up pastiing it into IPython before I realized that.
