Quote by Antonio Gramsci
English (Source)
When the political man exercises a policy for the art of the time to express a cultural world if it is a political activity, not an artistic criticism; if the cultural world that is being fought for is a living and necessary fact, its expressiveness will be irresistible and it will find its artists... But if... this irresistible character does not show itself and does not act, it means that it is a world fictitious and false, a lucubration of mediocre people, who complain that people of greater scope than themselves do not agree with them ... this is the way of defending themselves of some petty artists who, out of opportunism, affirm certain principles, but they feel unable to express them artistically, that is, through their own activity...
