Angela Carter

If Miss means respectably unmarried, and Mrs. respectably married, then Ms. means nudge, nudge, wink, wink. - Angela Carter

Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art. - Angela Carter
