Famous quotes containing the word art:
“Propaganda is that branch of the art of lying which consists in nearly deceiving your friends without quite deceiving your enemies.”
—F.M. Cornford (1874–1943)
“Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing. What horrors of damp huts, where human beings languish, may not become picturesque through aerial distance! What hymning of cancerous vices may we not languish over as sublimest art in the safe remoteness of a strange language and artificial phrase! Yet we keep a repugnance to rheumatism and other painful effects when presented in our personal experience.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
