Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or painting:
“I won’t undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
