Famous quotes containing the words artistic, depictions and/or bose:

    “The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Surely, of all creatures we eat, we are most brutal to snails. Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Bosch’s depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “Summertime, an’ the livin’ is easy.”
    —Du Bose Heyward (1885–1940)
