Famous quotes containing the word art:

    The art of the parenthesis is one of the greatest secrets of eloquence in Society.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
    As the swift seasons roll!
    Leave thy low-vaulted past!
    Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
    Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
    Till thou at length art free,
    Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
