Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or comment:

    “A fair feeld ful of folk fand I there-betwene,
    Of alle maner of men, the mene and the riche,
    Worching and wandringe as the world asketh.

    In setting and sowing swunke ful harde,
    Wonne that these wastours with glotonye destroyeth.”
    —William Langland (1330–1400)

    “Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can’t force it.”
    —Bella Lewitzky (b. 1916)
