Famous quotes containing the words martial and/or arts:

    What, then, does a chaste girl do?
    She does not offer, yet she does not say “No.”
    —Marcus Valerius Martial (c. 40–104)

    No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
