Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

“her fine blades making the air wince
but her cargo
no promise then:
delivered
palpable
ours.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

““Faith” is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.”
—Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
