About This Quote
When someone says, "I don't want art for a few," they are saying that they want money or status, not art. They might be saying they don't have the time to see every play or exhibition. They may be saying they can't afford all the arts they would like to enjoy. Or, they may just be indicating a preference for a certain type of art over another. This phrase is often heard in reference to people who have been involved in the arts from a young age but have since withdrawn from the field.
