Famous quotes containing the word art:
“Today, each artist must undertake to invent himself, a lifelong act of creation that constitutes the essential content of the artist’s work. The meaning of art in our time flows from this function of self-creation. Art is the laboratory for making new men.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“I hold that it is true that dreams are faithful interpreters of our drives; but there is an art to sorting and understanding them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
