Fiddle/history

Famous quotes containing the words fiddle and/or history:

    It needs more skill than I can tell
    To play the second fiddle well.
    —C.H. (Charles Haddon)

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
