Famous quotes containing the words social and/or status:

    I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art—and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.
    Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)

    As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.
    Clive James (b. 1939)
