Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    “Eliot dead, you saying,
    “And who is left to understand my jokes?
    My old Brother in the arts . . . and besides, he was a smash of
    poet.””
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
    —Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)

    “Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
