Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or selling:

    “If it is surely the means to the highest end we know, can any work be humble or disgusting? Will it not rather be elevating as a ladder, the means by which we are translated?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it.... Advanced art today is no longer a cause—it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
