Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “Fear no more the frown o’ th’ great,
    Thou art past the tyrant’s stroke;
    Care no more to clothe and eat,
    To thee the reed is as the oak.
    The sceptre, learning, physic, must
    All follow this and come to dust.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “When lovely woman stoops to folly,
    And finds too late that men betray,
    What charm can soothe her melancholy,
    What art can wash her guilt away?

    The only art her guilt to cover,
    To hide her shame from every eye,
    To give repentance to her lover,
    And wring his bosom—is to die.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)

    “All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)
