Famous quotes containing the words relationship to, relationship, art and/or movements:

    “Sometimes in our relationship to another human being the proper balance of friendship is restored when we put a few grains of impropriety onto our own side of the scale.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Who among us has not, in moments of ambition, dreamt of the miracle of a form of poetic prose, musical but without rhythm and rhyme, both supple and staccato enough to adapt itself to the lyrical movements of our souls, the undulating movements of our reveries, and the convulsive movements of our consciences? This obsessive ideal springs above all from frequent contact with enormous cities, from the junction of their innumerable connections.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
