Famous quotes containing the words external, power and/or supply:
“All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.”
—Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)
“He has served me too well; by increasing my power he has stolen it away: he is now my subject only so long as he pleases.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
“Artistic inspiration ignores the law of supply and demand.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
