More In Art
- "For me, the game would be to assume a very intelligent reader who can extrapolate a lot from a little. And that’s become my definition of art; to get that pitch just right, where I can put a hint on page three, and the reader’s ears go up a bit, as opposed to dropping it all on the first page."― George Saunders
- "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."― C. S. Lewis
- "In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it."― Ernst Fischer
