Famous quotes containing the words marc and/or jacobs:

    Let us be realistic and demand the impossible.
    [Soyons rĂ©alistes, demandons l’impossible.]
    Graffito. Paris ‘68, ch. 2, Marc Rohan (1988)

    Artists, whatever their medium, make selections from the abounding materials of life, and organize these selections into works that are under the control of the artist.... In relation to the inclusiveness and literally endless intricacy of life, art is arbitrary, symbolic and abstracted. That is its value and the source of its own kind of order and coherence.
    —Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
