Famous quotes containing the words main and/or gallery:

    “Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.”
    —Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    “It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
