    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Critics are more committed to the rules of art than artists are.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The attorneys defending a criminal are rarely artists enough to turn the beautiful ghastliness of his deed to his advantage.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
