Famous quotes containing the words australian and/or division:
“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
“The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.”
—Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
