Famous quotes containing the words world and/or artistic:
“The world is chaos. Nothingness is the yet-to-be-born god of the world.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
“Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius ... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
