Famous quotes containing the words society and/or arts:

    “Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “I should say that the most prominent scientific men of our country, and perhaps of this age, are either serving the arts and not pure science, or are performing faithful but quite subordinate labors in particular departments. They make no steady and systematic approaches to the central fact.... There is wanting constant and accurate observation with enough of theory to direct and discipline it. But, above all, there is wanting genius.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
