About This Quote
The phrase “They had Raphael and Michelangelo; now we have Mr. Paul Delaroche, and all because we are progressive” is a knock against the idea of being progressive. Progress comes from being forward thinking, to an extent. However, many people can ruin progress by being too progressive for their own good.
