“Romanticism is the struggle to save the reality of experience from evaporating into theoretical abstraction or disintegrating into the chaos of bare, empirical fact. It is a critical counterpart of the imperial advance of science.”
- Theodore Roszak (b. 1933), American social critic: “Where the Wasteland Ends”, 1972.
“I hate flowers – I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move.”
- Georgia O’Keefe (1887 – 1986), American artist: quoted in the “New York Herald Tribune”, April 18, 1954, reprinted in “Portrait of an Artist” by Laurie Lisle, 1986.
“The type of fig leaf which each cultures employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
- Freda Adler (b. 1934), American educator and author: “Sisters in Crime”, 1975.
