Famous quotes containing the words king and/or performed:
“I’ll stake all my soul
on that beauty,
till God shall awake
again in men’s hearts,
who have said he is dead
our King and our Lover.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“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)
