Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    “Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “If we will admit time into our thoughts at all, the mythologies, those vestiges of ancient poems, wrecks of poems, so to speak, the world’s inheritance,... these are the materials and hints for a history of the rise and progress of the race; how, from the condition of ants, it arrived at the condition of men, and arts were gradually invented. Let a thousand surmises shed some light on this story.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “So in peace our tasks we ply,
    Pangur Ban, my cat, and I;
    In our arts we find our bliss,
    I have mine and he has his.”
    —Unknown. Pangur Ban (l. 25–28)
