Famous quotes containing the word artworks:

    “It is with artworks as it is with wine: it is much better when we do not need either one, when we stick with water, and when out of our own inner fire, the inner sweetness of our own soul, we turn the water over and over again into wine ourselves.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
