Famous quotes containing the words public and/or works:

    The appropriation of radical thinking by lazy, self-obsessed hippies is a public relations disaster that could cost the earth.
    Ben Elton (b. 1959)

    We all agree now—by “we” I mean intelligent people under sixty—that a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. Unluckily, the matter does not end there: a rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.
    Clive Bell (1881–1962)
