Famous quotes containing the word art:

    The most important quality of art and its aim is illusion; emotion, which is often obtained by certain sacrifices of poetic detail, is something else entirely and of an inferior order.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.
    Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)

    Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
