“Uno stato d'animo si può comunicare solo attraverso un'opera d'arte. Necessariamente un libro o è una discussione, una esposizione di certe nozioni o informazioni oppure è un'opera d'arte.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Avanzi popolo

“If a person loves something above all else, if he values the work of his heart and hands, then he should naturally, without hesitation, pour into it his whole soul, undivided and pure. Great art demands nothing less.”
― Susan Vreeland, The Passion of Artemisia

“I retain, but suspend, my personal taste to deal with the panoply of the art I see. I have a trick for doing justice to an uncongenial work: “What would I like about this if I liked it?” I may come around; I may not. Failing that, I wonder, What must the people who like this be like? Anthropology.”
― Peter Schjeldahl

“Chinese men refer to their wives as neiren, “person of the inner chamber,” or neizi, “the inner one.” The word nei is opposed to the word wai, or “outer.” By keeping woman as his own property, a man cloisters his wife within the walls and deprives her of her basic freedom”
