Famous quotes containing the word art:

    The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Study me then, you who shall lovers be
    At the next world, that is, at the next spring:
    For I am every dead thing,
    In whom love wrought new alchemy.
    For his art did express
    A quintessence even from nothingness,
    From dull privations, and lean emptiness:
    He ruined me, and I am re-begot
    Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
