Famous quotes containing the word art:
“I think sometimes that it is almost a pity to enjoy Italy as much as I do, because the acuteness of my sensations makes them rather exhausting; but when I see the stupid Italians I have met here, completely insensitive to their surroundings, and ignorant of the treasures of art and history among which they have grown up, I begin to think it is better to be an American, and bring to it all a mind and eye unblunted by custom.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word, for thou art not so long by the head as honorificabilitudinitatibus.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
