Contribution Limit

Famous quotes containing the words contribution and/or limit:

“All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.”
—Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)

“Greatness collapses of itself: such limit the gods have set to the growth of prosperous states.”
—Marcus Annaeus Lucan (39–65)
