Famous quotes containing the words depictions and/or art:

    Surely, of all creatures we eat, we are most brutal to snails. Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Bosch’s depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    One line typed twenty years ago
    can be blazed on a wall in spraypaint
    to glorify art as detachment
    or torture of those we
    did not love but also
    did not want to kill.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
