Famous quotes containing the words political and/or work:
“A human being is a naturally political [animal].”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
