Famous quotes containing the word art:

    Making a logging-road in the Maine woods is called “swamping” it, and they who do the work are called “swampers.” I now perceived the fitness of the term. This was the most perfectly swamped of all the roads I ever saw. Nature must have coƶperated with art here.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: rapture.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance ... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
    Henry James (1843–1916)
