Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or humanities:

    Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Overconcentration on any one point is a distortion.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
