Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Most arts require long study and application; but the most useful art of all, that of pleasing, requires only the desire.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I too have arts and sorceries;
Illusion dwells forever with the wave.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
