Primitive/art

Famous quotes containing the words primitive and/or art:

    Cannibalism to a certain moderate extent is practised among several of the primitive tribes in the Pacific, but it is upon the bodies of slain enemies alone; and horrible and fearful as the custom is, immeasurably as it is to be abhorred and condemned, still I assert that those who indulge in it are in other respects humane and virtuous.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    O thou weed!
    Who art so lovely fair and smell’st so sweet
    That the sense aches at thee, would thou hadst ne’er been born!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
