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)

    The arts are the salt of the earth; as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
