Famous quotes containing the words medieval and/or aesthetics:
“The Christos-image
is most difficult to disentangle
from its art-craft junk-shop

of pain-worship and death-symbol.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“Nothing is beautiful, except man alone: all aesthetics rests upon this naïveté, which is its first truth. Let us immediately add the second: nothing is ugly except the degenerating manand with this the realm of aesthetic judgment is circumscribed.”
