Famous quotes containing the word art:

    If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.
    Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)

    Come, I’ll be friends with thee, Jack. Thou art going to the
    wars, and whether I shall ever see thee again or no, there is
    nobody cares.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    That life is really so tragic would least of all explain the origin of an art form—assuming that art is not merely imitation of the reality of nature but rather a metaphysical supplement of the reality of nature, placed beside it for its overcoming.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
