Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “But sometimes everything I write
    with the threadbare art of my eye
    seems a snapshot,”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term abandonment, to describe the self-surrender of the orator.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or my music, then in that respect you can call me that.... I believe in what I do, and I’ll say it.”
    —John Lennon (1940–1980)
