Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk!
    When that this body did contain a spirit,
    A kingdom for it was too small a bound,
    But now two paces of the vilest earth
    Is room enough.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others. But without freedom, no socialism either, except the socialism of the gallows.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Art never improves, but ... the material of art is never quite the same.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
