Famous quotes containing the words society and/or arts:

    “Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other.... Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)
