"Politics is the art of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable." ― John Kenneth Galbraith Topic(s): Art More From John Kenneth Galbraith "We can safely abandon the doctrine of the eighties, namely that the rich were not working because they had too little money, the poor because they had much." "Power is not something that can be assumed or discarded at will like underwear." "Money differs from an automobile or mistress in being equally important to those who have it and those who do not." More In Art "I think I got disappointed over the years about New York, about the States. You know, sometimes you go and visit Europe and see good old socialism in its good part! You see public concern about art, and young people’s participation and young faces in the audience."― Mikhail Baryshnikov "To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue."― William Hazlitt "Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one."― Stella Adler
