That Good Old Elusive Kenneth Clark Quote

"I believe it is essential to civilisation that a good balance is maintained
between the female and the male principle."

PARAFRASE of

Kenneth Clark in

about Chapter 2 or 3 of the book version of

"Civilisation", 1969.

Maybe this balance is hard to find. The quote is still very great as is the book.

Art History sometimes throws up quotes as useful as any other discipline........
