Room Facing

Famous quotes containing the words room and/or facing:

“Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods?”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
