Famous quotes containing the words art and/or direction:
“If I were of the trade, I should naturalize art as much as they “artialize” nature.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Exaggeration is in the course of things. Nature sends no creature, no man into the world, without adding a small excess of his proper quality. Given the planet, it is still necessary to add the impulse; so, to every creature nature added a little violence of direction in its proper path, a shove to put it on its way; in every instance, a slight generosity, a drop too much.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
