Famous quotes containing the words endeavors and/or painting:
“Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.”
—Frédéric Bastiat (1801–1850)
“One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner—in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
