Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “There is in fact no such thing as art for art’s sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)

    “Truly, My Satan, thou art but a Dunce,
    And dost not know the Garment from the Man.
    Every Harlot was a Virgin once,
    Nor can’st thou ever change Kate into Nan.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “How dost, my boy? Art cold?
    I am cold myself. Where is this straw, good fellow?
    The art of our necessities is strange
    And can make vile things precious.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
