Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “The art of the cuisine, when fully mastered, is the one human capability of which only good things can be said.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
    Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
    Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
    And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Hail, hail, plump paunch, O the founder of taste
    For fresh meats, or powdered, or pickle, or paste;
    Devourer of broiled, baked, roasted or sod,
    And emptier of cups, be they even or odd;
    All which have now made thee so wide i’ the waist
    As scarce with no pudding thou art to be laced;
    But eating and drinking until thou dost nod,
    Thou break’st all thy girdles, and break’st forth a god.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
