Famous quotes containing the words graves and/or history:

“We forget cruelty and past betrayal,
Heedless of where the next bright bolt may fall.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)

“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)
