Modern Scholars

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or scholars:

“Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
