Famous quotes containing the words century and/or art:
“Child,
why do you waste your time
on childish things alone?
Clothe yourself in anger.
Take courage,
and cast off this honesty
toward your lover.
When her girlfriends
gave her such advice,
she answered,
her face frightened,
Speak softly.
The lord of my breath
is still in my heart.
No doubt hell hear you.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“Politics has been called the art of the possible, and it actually is a realm akin to art insofar as, like art, it occupies a creatively mediating position between spirit and life, the idea and reality.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
