Famous quotes containing the words egyptian and/or art:

    “He will to his Egyptian dish again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We’re made so that we love
    First when we see them painted, things we have passed
    Perhaps a hundred times nor cared to see;
    And so they are better, painted—better to us,
    Which is the same thing. Art was given for that;
    God uses us to help each other so,”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)
