Famous quotes containing the words middle, ages, bulgarian and/or rule:
“A person taking stock in middle age is like an artist or composer looking at an unfinished work; but whereas the composer and the painter can erase some of their past efforts, we cannot.

—Harry S. Broudy (b. 1905)
“What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.”
