Famous quotes containing the words artists and/or humanity:
“Immature artists imitate. Mature artists steal.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
“He stood, a soldier, to the last right end,
A perfect patriot and a noble friend,
But most a virtuous son.
All offices were done
By him, so ample, full, and round
In weight in measure, number, sound,
As, though his age imperfect might appear,
His life was of humanity the sphere.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
