Famous quotes containing the word artists:

    The past is interesting not only for the beauty which the artists for whom it was the present were able to extract from it, but also as past, for its historical value. The same goes for the present. The pleasure which we derive from the representation of the present is due not only to the beauty in which it may be clothed, but also from its essential quality of being present.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    The French Revolution gave birth to no artists but only to a great journalist, Desmoulins, and to an under-the-counter writer, Sade. The only poet of the times was the guillotine.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Women and egoistic artists entertain a feeling towards science that is something composed of envy and sentimentality.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
