Famous quotes containing the words beaux and/or arts:

    “The beaux and the babies, the servant troubles, and the social aspirations of the other girls seemed to me superficial. My work did not. I was professional. I could earn my own money, or I could be fired if I were inefficient. It was something to get your teeth into. It was living.”
    —Edna Woolman Chase (1877–1957)

    “In a very ugly and sensible age, the arts borrow, not from life, but from each other.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
