Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or literature:

    “all the arts lose virtue
    Against the essential reality
    Of creatures going about their business among the equally
    Earnest elements of nature.”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    “The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
