"True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, as those who move easiest have learned to dance." ― Alexander Pope Topic(s): Art More From Alexander Pope "Wit is the lowest form of humor." "Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe." "Woman’s at best a contradiction still." More In Art "History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird."― Joseph Conrad "Vision is the true creative rhythm."― Robert Delaunay "I don’t know much about auctions. I sometimes go to previews and see art sardined into ugly rooms. I’ve gawked at the gaudy prices, and gaped at well-clad crowds of happy white people conspicuously spending hundreds of millions of dollars."― Jerry Saltz
