Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.

Emily Blunt

One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.

Johann von Goethe

He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.
