Jacques Barzun
Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
Barzun quotes
Old age is like learning a new profession. And not one of your own choosing.
Barzun
On reflection, moral judgment in the arts appears rather as a tribute to their power to influence emotion and possibly conduct. And reflecting further on what some critics do today, one sees that a good many have merely shifted the ground of their moralism, transferring their impulse of righteousness to politics and social issues.
