Famous quotes containing the words art and/or galleries:
“...that absolutely everything beloved and cherished of the bourgeoisie, the conservative, the cowardly, and the impotentthe State, family life, secular art and sciencewas consciously or unconsciously hostile to the religious idea, to the Church, whose innate tendency and permanent aim was the dissolution of all existing worldly orders, and the reconstitution of society after the model of the ideal, the communistic City of God.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
“I have got enough of the old masters! Brown says he has shook them, and I think I will shake them, too. You wander through a mile of picture galleries and stare stupidly at ghastly old nightmares done in lampblack and lightning, and listen to the ecstatic encomiums of the guides, and try to get up some enthusiasm, but it wont come.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
