Famous quotes containing the word art:

    For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: rapture.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Is man no more than this? Consider him well. Thou ow’st the worm no silk, the beast no hide, the sheep no wool, the cat no perfume. Here’s three on’s are sophisticated. Thou art the thing itself; unaccommodated man is no more than such a poor, bare, forked animal as thou art.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
