Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or literature:
“Remove idleness from the world and soon the arts of Cupid would perish.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
