The Politics of Passion Quotes

“The function of the artist is to disturb. His duty is to arouse the sleeper, to shake the complacent pillars of the world. He reminds the world of its dark ancestry, and shows the world its present and points the way to its new birth. He is at once the product and preceptor of his times.”

“Bethune was a communist and an atheist with a healthy contempt for his evangelical father.”
― Larry Hannant, The Politics of Passion: Norman Bethune's Writing and Art
