Parent Materials

Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or materials:

    Time’s the king of men;
    He’s both their parent and he is their grave,
    And gives them what he will, not what they crave.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
