Buddhist Art/pre-iconic Phase 5th Century

Famous quotes containing the words art, phase and/or century:

    War was return of earth to ugly earth,
    War was foundering of sublimities,
    Extinction of each happy art and faith
    By which the world had still kept head in air.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    I had let preadolescence creep up on me without paying much attention—and I seriously underestimated this insidious phase of child development. You hear about it, but you’re not a true believer until it jumps out at you in the shape of your own, until recently quite companionable child.
    Susan Ferraro (20th century)

    For both faith and want of faith have destroyed men alike.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
