Famous quotes containing the words art and/or lessons:

“Thou art a monument without a tomb,
And art alive still while thy book doth live
And we have wits to read and praise to give.”

“Sentimentalists ... adopt whatever merit is in good repute, and almost make it hateful with their praise. The warmer their expressions, the colder we feel.... Cure the drunkard, heal the insane, mollify the homicide, civilize the Pawnee, but what lessons can be devised for the debauchee of sentiment?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
