Famous quotes containing the words art and/or journal:
“The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“How truly does this journal contain my real and undisguised thoughts—I always write it according to the humour I am in, and if a stranger was to think it worth reading, how capricious—insolent & whimsical I must appear!—one moment flighty and half mad,—the next sad and melancholy. No matter! Its truth and simplicity are its sole recommendations.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
