Famous quotes containing the words philosophy and/or works:

    “A novel is never anything but a philosophy put into images.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “You are always looking for already-felt emotions, just as you like to get an old pair of trousers back from the cleaners, which seem new when you don’t look too closely. Artists are cleaners, don’t let yourself be taken in by them. True modern works of art are made not by artists but quite simply by men.”
    —Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
