Arts Patron

Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or patron:

“A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint.”
