The Fallacies of Hope (1969)

Kenneth Clark: Self - Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : And what is that I hear? That note of urgency, of indignation, of spiritual hunger. Yes, it's Beethoven. It's the sound of European man once more reaching for something beyond his grasp.

• Narrator : We're still the offspring of the Romantic movement and still victims of the fallacies of hope.
