Screen/arts

Famous quotes containing the words screen and/or arts:

“We like the chase better than the quarry.... And those who philosophize on the matter, and who think men unreasonable for spending a whole day in chasing a hare which they would not have bought, scarce know our nature. The hare in itself would not screen us from the sight of death and calamities; but the chase, which turns away our attention from these, does screen us.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“One man cannot practice many arts with success.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
