Famous quotes containing the words adult, standards and/or artists:

    “They are not callow like the young of most birds, but more perfectly developed and precocious even than chickens. The remarkably adult yet innocent expression of their open and serene eyes is very memorable. All intelligence seems reflected in them. They suggest not merely the purity of infancy, but a wisdom clarified by experience. Such an eye was not born when the bird was, but is coeval with the sky it reflects. The woods do not yield another such a gem.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Critics are more committed to the rules of art than artists are.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
