Famous quotes containing the word artists:

    “... artists were intended to be an ornament to society. As a society in themselves they are unthinkable.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “As artists they’re rot, but as providers they’re oil wells; they gush. Norris said she never wrote a story unless it was fun to do. I understand Ferber whistles at her typewriter. And there was that poor sucker Flaubert rolling around on his floor for three days looking for the right word.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    “Few artists can afford artistic temperament.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
