Famous quotes containing the words life and/or art:

    . . . you may think I waste my breath
    Pretending that there can be passion
    That has more life in it than death,
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It is the way unseen, the certain route,
    Where ever bound, yet thou art ever free;
    The path of Him, whose perfect law of love
    Bids spheres and atoms in just order move.
    Jones Very (1831–1880)
