Famous quotes containing the words social, anarchist and/or views:

    ... spinsterhood [is considered to be] an abnormality of small proportions and small consequence, something like an extra finger or two on the body, presumably of temporary duration, and never of any social significance.
    Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    I am an anarchist in politics and an impressionist in art as well as a symbolist in literature. Not that I understand what these terms mean, but I take them to be all merely synonyms of pessimist.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
