Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or greek:

“The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.”
