“The modern picture of The Artist began to form: The poor, but free spirit, plebeian but aspiring only to be classless, to cut himself forever free from the bonds of the greedy bourgeoisie, to be whatever the fat burghers feared most, to cross the line wherever they drew it, to look at the world in a way they couldnt see, to be high, live low, stay young foreverin short, to be the bohemian.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
—John Ruskin (18191900)
