Famous quotes containing the word artists:

“of artists dying in childbirth, wise-women charred at the stake,
centuries of books unwritten piled behind these shelves;
and we still have to stare into the absence
of men who would not, women who could not, speak
to our life—this still unexcavated hole
called civilization, this act of translation, this half-world.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“Critics are more committed to the rules of art than artists are.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Immature artists imitate. Mature artists steal.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
