Famous quotes containing the words visionary and/or art:
“Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
“The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
