Famous quotes containing the words king and/or performed:
“For and if thou canst answer my questions three,

—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 75–76)
“All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.”
—Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)
