Famous quotes containing the word artists:

    “If the artist is not also a craftsman, the artist is nothing, but calamity: most of our artists are nothing but craftsmen.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “... artists were intended to be an ornament to society. As a society in themselves they are unthinkable.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
    —Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
