Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or literature:

    “In a very ugly and sensible age, the arts borrow, not from life, but from each other.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
    —Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
