Famous quotes containing the words arts and, arts and/or culture:

    “I too have arts and sorceries;
    Illusion dwells forever with the wave.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Against the essential reality
    Of creatures going about their business among the equally
    Earnest elements of nature.”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    “The aggregate of all knowledge has not yet become culture in us. Rather it would seem as if, with the progressive scientific penetration and dissection of reality, the foundations of our thinking grow ever more precarious and unstable.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
