Famous quotes containing the words notable, martial and/or artists:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Let the martial songs be written, let the dirges disappear. Let a
    race of men now rise and take control!”
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    “We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell.”
    —Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
