Famous quotes containing the word art:

    The art of medicine in the season lies:
    Wine given in season oft will benefit,
    Which out of season injures.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    The wealthy are always surrounded by hangers-on; science and art are as well.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    A book should contain pure discoveries, glimpses of terra firma, though by shipwrecked mariners, and not the art of navigation by those who have never been out of sight of land. They must not yield wheat and potatoes, but must themselves be the unconstrained and natural harvest of their author’s lives.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
