Famous quotes containing the words graves and/or history:

“What we now call “finance” is, I hold, an intellectual perversion of what began as warm human love.”
—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)
