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)

    “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)

    “A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
