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.”
—Isidore Ducasse, Comte de LautrĂ©amont (18461870)
“Strike the concertinas melancholy string!
Blow the spirit-stirring harp like any thing!
Let the pianos martial blast
Rouse the Echoes of the Past,”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
