Economic Quotes

Now culture being a social product, I firmly believe that any work of art should have a social function to beautify, to glorify, to dignify man...

The making of a genuine artist or writer is not mysterious. It is not the work of Divine Providence. Social conditions, history, and the people's struggle are the factors behind it.
