Famous quotes containing the word art:

    If I were of the trade, I should naturalize art as much as they “artialize” nature.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Art, if one employs this term in the broad sense that includes poetry within its realm, is an art of creation laden with ideals, located at the very core of the life of a people, defining the spiritual and moral shape of that life.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
    within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the
    health of my countenance, and my God.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm XLII (l. XLII, 11)
