Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    The textile and needlework arts of the world, primarily because they have been the work of women have been especially written out of art history. It is a male idea that to be “high” and “fine” both women and art should be beautiful, but not useful or functional.
    Patricia Mainardi (b. 1942)

    all the arts lose virtue
    Against the essential reality
    Of creatures going about their business among the equally
    Earnest elements of nature.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    On every hand we observe a truly wise practice, in education, in morals, and in the arts of life, the embodied wisdom of many an ancient philosopher.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
