I am not arguing with you-I am telling you.James McNeill WhistlerThe Gentle Art of Making Enemies · 1890★ 3.6
Art should be independent of all claptrap-should stand alone, and appeal to the artistic sense of eye or ear, without confounding this with emotions entirely foreign to it, as devotion, pity, love, patriotism, and the like. All these have no kind of concern with it.James McNeill WhistlerThe Gentle Art of Making Enemies · 1890★ 1.8
