Famous quotes containing the words beast and/or arts:
“I saw for a blazing moment
The great grassy world from both sides,
Man and beast in the round of their need,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
“I should say that the most prominent scientific men of our country, and perhaps of this age, are either serving the arts and not pure science, or are performing faithful but quite subordinate labors in particular departments. They make no steady and systematic approaches to the central fact.... There is wanting constant and accurate observation with enough of theory to direct and discipline it. But, above all, there is wanting genius.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
