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)

    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)

    The desire to create literature leads to frights, grunts, and coy looks.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
