Famous quotes containing the word art:

    The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. It is an ability to penetrate from the naïve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest.... Statesmanship ... consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
