Famous quotes containing the word art:

“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.”
