Close Sets

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or sets:

“The only way to avoid being unhappy is to close yourself up in Art and to count for nothing all the rest.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

“In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it....
