Famous quotes containing the words eastern, art and/or gallery:

    See how from far upon the eastern road
    The star-led Wizards haste with odours sweet . . .
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: rapture.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
