Famous quotes containing the words essential, art and/or house:
“The essential function of art is moral.... But a passionate, implicit morality, not didactic. A morality which changes the blood, rather than the mind.”

“I cant tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that often art has judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past suffered, so that it has never been forgotten.... Art, when it functions like this, becomes a meeting-place of the invisible, the irreducible, the enduring, guts, and honour.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“In my grandmothers house there was always chicken soup
And talk of the old countrymud and boards,
Poverty,
The snow falling down and necks of lovers.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
