Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or artists:

    “Oh Science, lift aloud thy voice that stills
    The pulse of fear,”
    —Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus)

    “For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential—the imagination.”
    —Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)
