Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or symbols:
“The dead level of provincial existence.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The twentieth-century artist who uses symbols is alienated because the system of symbols is a private one. After you have dealt with the symbols you are still private, you are still lonely, because you are not sure anyone will understand it except yourself. The ransom of privacy is that you are alone.”
—Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)
