Famous quotes containing the words arts and, arts and/or literature:

    I won’t undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    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)

    All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.
    Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
