Famous quotes containing the words gallery of, gallery, dogs and/or art:

    “I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Like dogs in Mexico,
    furless, sore, misshapen,
    arrives from laborious nowhere
    Agony.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “The art of acting presupposes three phases: understanding a part, intuiting a part, and contemplating the essence of a part.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
