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

    A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Remove idleness from the world and soon the arts of Cupid would perish.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    The Irishman in English literature may be said to have been born with an apology in his mouth.
    James Connolly (1870–1916)
