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

    “No performance is worth loss of geniality. ‘Tis a cruel price we pay for certain fancy goods called fine arts and philosophy.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “What ails it, intrinsically, is a dearth of intellectual audacity and of aesthetic passion. Running through it, and characterizing the work of almost every man and woman producing it, there is an unescapable suggestion of the old Puritan suspicion of the fine arts as such—of the doctrine that they offer fit asylum for good citizens only when some ulterior and superior purpose is carried into them.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
