Famous quotes containing the words artists and/or humanity:
“Critics are more committed to the rules of art than artists are.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.”
—Murray Bookchin (b. 1941)
