Famous quotes containing the word art:

    Good-bye, proud world! I’m Going home;
    Thou art not my friend, and I’m not thine.
    Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
    A river-ark on the ocean brine,
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    All art is a struggle to be, in a particular sort of way, virtuous.
    Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)

    In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
