Famous quotes containing the words art and/or collection:
“The art of the parenthesis is one of the greatest secrets of eloquence in Society.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
