| gptkbp:famousQuote |
“Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.”
“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate.” “Who fights can lose, who doesn't fight has already lost.” “He who laughs has not yet heard the bad news.” “The aim of art is not a rarified, intellectual distillate; it is life, intensified, brilliant life.” |
