Escape Artist

Famous quotes containing the words escape and/or artist:

“With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, Balzac, Homer have all written about the same things, and if they had lived one thousand or two thousand years longer, the publishers wouldn’t have needed anyone since.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
