Famous quotes containing the words art and/or literature:

    “I prithee, daughter, do not make me mad.
    I will not trouble thee, my child; farewell:
    We’ll no more meet, no more see one another.
    But yet thou art my flesh, my blood, my daughter—
    Or rather a disease that’s in my flesh,
    Which I must needs call mine.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “How has the human spirit ever survived the terrific literature with which it has had to contend?”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
