“We all agree nowby we I mean intelligent people under sixtythat a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves.

—Clive Bell (18811962)
“The future is just as much a condition of the present as is the past. What shall be and must be is the ground of that which is.”
