“When Michelangelo was introduced to Titian, he said... that Titian's colouring and his style much pleased him, but that it was a pity that in Venice men did not learn to draw well from the beginning, and that those painters did not pursue a better method in their studies.” MenWellsSaidStudyStyleDrawsMethodPityPursuePainterVenice Author:Giorgio Vasari
“Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. The real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. One could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.” WellsWarRealIndividualInterestKnowingProduceWillingPursuitPursueBlockPhrasesAbstractAffirmationAssertionTotalityNegation Author:Karl Marx
