Famous quotes containing the words artists and/or united:

    If the artist is not also a craftsman, the artist is nothing, but calamity: most of our artists are nothing but craftsmen.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Man is to himself the most wonderful object in nature; for he cannot conceive what the body is, still less what the mind is, and least of all how a body should be united to a mind. This is the consummation of his difficulties, and yet this is his very being.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
