Famous quotes containing the word art:

    As always art is the pulse of a nation.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    We’re made so that we love
    First when we see them painted, things we have passed
    Perhaps a hundred times nor cared to see;
    And so they are better, painted—better to us,
    Which is the same thing. Art was given for that;
    God uses us to help each other so,
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    First-born, for whom by day and night I yearn,
    Balanced and just are all of God’s decrees;
    Thou art avenged, my first-born, sleep in peace!”
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
