Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential—the imagination.”
    —Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)
