Famous quotes with Cubism

  • I think music has gone through a period of something very severe, rather radical, rather the way painting did with cubism.
    Harrison Birtwistle
  • A priest visiting my parish preached a sermon wherein he referred to homosexuality as a “lifestyle.” By which he meant a choice. So, too, my beloved Father O’Neill (to whom I confessed as a child) said to my sister, a few months before he died, that he disapproved of “Richard’s lifestyle.” Homosexuality requires cubism to illustrate itself, perhaps. But homosexuality is not a lifestyle. Homosexuality is an emotion—a physiological departure from homeostasis.
    Richard Rodriguez
