History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created.

So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.

No man is good enough to be another's master.

I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.

The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.
