Famous quotes containing the words art and/or direction:
“I think sometimes that it is almost a pity to enjoy Italy as much as I do, because the acuteness of my sensations makes them rather exhausting; but when I see the stupid Italians I have met here, completely insensitive to their surroundings, and ignorant of the treasures of art and history among which they have grown up, I begin to think it is better to be an American, and bring to it all a mind and eye unblunted by custom.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“Man alone resists the direction of gravitation: he constantly wants to fall—upwards.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
