Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:

    “There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Yes, I am a thorough republican. No other form of government is so favorable to the growth of art.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
