Famous quotes containing the word art:
“The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“... 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)
