Famous quotes containing the word art:

    The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.
    Russell Lynes (b. 1910)

    ... [photographs] trade simultaneously on the prestige of art and the magic of the real.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    The middlebrow is the man, or woman, of middlebred intelligence who ambles and saunters now on this side of the hedge, now on that, in pursuit of no single object, neither art itself nor life itself, but both mixed indistinguishably, and rather nastily, with money, fame, power, or prestige.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
