Famous quotes containing the word art:
“Art is identical with a state of capacity to make, involving a true course of reasoning. All art is concerned with coming into being ... for art is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being, by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“First-born, for whom by day and night I yearn,
Balanced and just are all of God’s decrees;
Thou art avenged, my first-born, sleep in peace!””
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
