Famous quotes containing the words public and/or art:

    But a public oration is an escapade, a non-committal, an apology, a gag, and not a communication, not a speech, not a man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The fact is popular art dates. It grows quaint. How many people feel strongly about Gilbert and Sullivan today compared to those who felt strongly in 1890?
    Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930)
