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

    “A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. 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)

    “A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.”
    —Kenneth Tynan (1927–1980)
