Quotes by Benedetto Croce (?)

“We are products of the past and we live immersed in the past, which encompasses us. How can we move towards the new life, how create new activities without getting out of the past and without placing ourselves above it? And how can we place ourselves above the past if we are in it and it is in us? There is no other way out except through thought, which does not break off relations with the past but rises ideally above it and converts it into knowledge.”
― Benedetto Croce

“ما هو الفن؟"
إن الفن رؤيا أو حدس.
فالفنان إنما يقدم صورة أو خيالاً، والذي يتذوّق الفن يدور بطزفه إلى النقطة التي دله عليها الفنان، وينظر من النافذة التي هيأها له، فإذا به يغيد تكوين هذه الصورة في نفسه”
― Benedetto Croce, فلسفة الفن
