Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    “The arts are the salt of the earth; as salt relates to food, the arts relate to technology.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “These modern ingenious sciences and arts do not affect me as those more venerable arts of hunting and fishing, and even of husbandry in its primitive and simple form; as ancient and honorable trades as the sun and moon and winds pursue, coeval with the faculties of man, and invented when these were invented. We do not know their John Gutenberg, or Richard Arkwright, though the poets would fain make them to have been gradually learned and taught.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “But here comes Generosity; giving—not to a decayed artist—but to the arts and sciences themselves.—See,—he builds ... whole schools and colleges for those who come after. Lord! how they will magnify his name!
    —One honest tear shed in private over the unfortunate, is worth them all.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
