Famous quotes containing the words persian and/or painters:
“If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
