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

    “I won’t undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    “Musick is certainly a very agreeable Entertainment, but if it would take the entire Possession of our Ears, if it would make us incapable of hearing Sense, if it would exclude Arts that have a much greater Tendency to the Refinement of human Nature; I must confess I would allow it no better Quarter than Plato has done, who banishes it out of his Common-wealth.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
