Dangerous Quotes

In the same way, there is nothing more dangerous than justice in the hands of judges, and a paint brush in the hands of a painter! Just think of the danger to society! But today we haven't the heart to expel the painters and poets because we no longer admit to ourselves that there is any danger in keeping them in our midst.”

Artists, poets, and activists could come and unify and create different kinds of scenes. Not just fashion scenes, scenes that were politically active.
