Famous quotes containing the word art:
“We hear the Secretary of State boasting of his brinkmanship—the art of bringing us to the edge of the abyss.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“A wise architect observed that you could break the laws of architectural art provided you had mastered them first. That would apply to religion as well as to art. Ignorance of the past does not guarantee freedom from its imperfections.”
—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
“Sabrina fair,
Listen where thou art sitting
Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
In twisted braids of lilies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
