Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“The upshot was, my paintings must burn
that English artists might finally learn.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
