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

    I should say that the most prominent scientific men of our country, and perhaps of this age, are either serving the arts and not pure science, or are performing faithful but quite subordinate labors in particular departments. They make no steady and systematic approaches to the central fact.... There is wanting constant and accurate observation with enough of theory to direct and discipline it. But, above all, there is wanting genius.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    Herman Melville was as separated from a civilized literature as the lost Atlantis was said to have been from the great peoples of the earth.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
