Famous quotes containing the words art and/or forms:
“We live under a prince who is an enemy to fraud, a prince whose eyes penetrate into the heart, and whom all the art of impostors cant deceive.”

“All ... forms of consensus about great books and perennial problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of what is already known. Those great books dont only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
