Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or literature:

    “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)

    “If a nation’s literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
