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

    I have travelled a good deal in Concord; and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways....

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Let the martial songs be written, let the dirges disappear. Let a
    race of men now rise and take control!
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    ... artists were intended to be an ornament to society. As a society in themselves they are unthinkable.
