Subjects

Famous quotes containing the word subjects:

    Christmas and Easter can be subjects for poetry, but Good Friday, like Auschwitz, cannot. The reality is so horrible, it is not surprising that people should have found it a stumbling block to faith.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Despite the hundreds of attempts, police terror and the concentration camps have proved to be more or less impossible subjects for the artist; since what happened to them was beyond the imagination, it was therefore also beyond art and all those human values on which art is traditionally based.
    A. Alvarez (b. 1929)

    I have come, Sire, to complain of one of your subjects who has been so audacious as to kick me in the belly.
    Marie Antoinette (1755–1793)
