Famous quotes containing the word art:
“Any authentic work of art must start an argument between the artist and his audience.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“An aphorism, honestly stamped and molded, has not yet been “deciphered” once we have read it over; rather, its exegesis—for which an art of exegesis is needed—has only just begun.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
