Benjamin Martin

Famous quotes containing the words benjamin and/or martin:

“Not to find one’s way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

“I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you’re an idiot.”
—Steve Martin (b. 1945)
