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

    “The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “So in peace our tasks we ply,
    Pangur Ban, my cat, and I;
    In our arts we find our bliss,
    I have mine and he has his.”
    —Unknown. Pangur Ban (l. 25–28)

    “The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
