Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “Listen where thou art sitting
    Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
    In twisted braids of lilies knitting
    The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair;
    Listen for dear honour’s sake,
    Goddess of the silver lake,
    Listen and save.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Now I want
    Spirits to enforce, art to enchant,
    And my ending is despair,
    Unless I be relieved by prayer,
    Which pierces so that it assaults
    Mercy itself, and frees all faults.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The two great things yet to be discovered are these—The Art of rejuvenating old age in men, & oldageifying youth in books.—Who in the name of the trunk-makers would think of reading Old Burton were his book published for the first to day.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
