Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    “The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “In a very ugly and sensible age, the arts borrow, not from life, but from each other.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Most arts require long study and application; but the most useful art of all, that of pleasing, requires only the desire.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
