Famous quotes containing the words arts and, arts and/or culture:

He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“The highest end of government is the culture of men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
