Illustration Art Book

Famous quotes containing the words illustration, art and/or book:

“Each truth that a writer acquires is a lantern, which he turns full on what facts and thoughts lay already in his mind, and behold, all the mats and rubbish which had littered his garret become precious. Every trivial fact in his private biography becomes an illustration of this new principle, revisits the day, and delights all men by its piquancy and new charm.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“When art dresses in worn-out material it is most easily recognized as art.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“I can’t bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
