Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    “What ails it, intrinsically, is a dearth of intellectual audacity and of aesthetic passion. Running through it, and characterizing the work of almost every man and woman producing it, there is an unescapable suggestion of the old Puritan suspicion of the fine arts as such—of the doctrine that they offer fit asylum for good citizens only when some ulterior and superior purpose is carried into them.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “Hardly any human being is capable of pursuing two professions or two arts rightly.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    “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)
