Famous quotes containing the word art:

    Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
    To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but
    A dagger of the mind, a false creation
    Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In art the end does not sanctify the means: but sacred means employed here can sanctify the end.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Ye know why the forms are fair, ye hear how the tale is told:
    It is all triumphant art, but art in obedience to laws,
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
