One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is the intermixing of different genres.

Propylaea (1798) IntroductionJohann Wolfgang von Goethe
» Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - all quotes »
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail,
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder,
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind,
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind,
An’ the poet and the painter far behind his rightful time
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.Bob Dylan
If there is one place on the face of the earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India. … For more than 30 centuries, the tree of vision, with all its thousand branches and their millions of twigs, has sprung from this torrid land, the burning womb of the Gods. It renews itself tirelessly showing no signs of decay.
Romain Rolland
The entire universe is perfused with signs, if it is not composed exclusively of signs.
Charles Sanders Peirce
We have such a mixture now, such a fusion of different genres.
Ryszard Kapuscinski
Distinctive signs, full signs, never seduce us.
