Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “Good-bye, proud world! I’m Going home;
    Thou art not my friend, and I’m not thine.
    Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
    A river-ark on the ocean brine,”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Happy thou art not,
    For what thou hast not, still thou striv’st to get,
    And what thou hast, forget’st.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “To fill the hour,—that is happiness; to fill the hour, and leave no crevice for a repentance or an approval. We live amid surfaces, and the true art of life is to skate well on them.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
