Famous quotes containing the word artists:

    “The rush to books and universities is like the rush to the public house. People want to drown their realization of the difficulties of living properly in this grotesque contemporary world, they want to forget their own deplorable inefficiency as artists in life.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    “The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem.... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.”
    —Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)
