Famous quotes containing the words arts and, arts and/or culture:
“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
—Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
“Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
