Captured Martial Artists

Famous quotes containing the words captured, martial and/or artists:

    When I write down my thoughts, they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.

    What, then, does a chaste girl do?
    She does not offer, yet she does not say “No.”
    —Marcus Valerius Martial (c. 40–104)

    The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
