Famous quotes containing the words art and/or form:
“To a poet the mere making of a poem can seem to solve the problem of truth ... but only a problem of art is solved in poetry.”

“I sometimes wonder that we can be so frivolous ... as to attend to the gross but somewhat foreign form of servitude called Negro Slavery, there are so many keen and subtle masters that enslave both north and south. It is hard to have a southern overseer; it is worse to have a northern one; but worst of all when you are the slave-driver of yourself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
