Natural Reason

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or reason:

“It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music—his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting—that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
