Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

““Faith” is a fine invention”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“Give us that grand word “woman” once again,
And let’s have done with “lady”; one’s a term
Full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm,
Fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen;
And one’s a word for lackeys.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)

“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)
