Famous quotes containing the word art:

    True science investigates and brings to human perception such truths and such knowledge as the people of a given time and society consider most important. Art transmits these truths from the region of perception to the region of emotion.
    Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

    Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
    within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the
    health of my countenance, and my God.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm XLII (l. XLII, 11)

    Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
