Famous quotes containing the word art:

    Study me then, you who shall lovers be
    At the next world, that is, at the next spring:
    For I am every dead thing,
    In whom love wrought new alchemy.
    For his art did express
    A quintessence even from nothingness,
    From dull privations, and lean emptiness:
    He ruined me, and I am re-begot
    Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    Life is short, the art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgment difficult.
    Hippocrates (c. 460–370 B.C.)

    ... the art of politics is to be ahead of your time—about six months will do it. Any more than that, and people forget you were there.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
