Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    “Musick is certainly a very agreeable Entertainment, but if it would take the entire Possession of our Ears, if it would make us incapable of hearing Sense, if it would exclude Arts that have a much greater Tendency to the Refinement of human Nature; I must confess I would allow it no better Quarter than Plato has done, who banishes it out of his Common-wealth.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    “Eliot dead, you saying,
    “And who is left to understand my jokes?
    My old Brother in the arts . . . and besides, he was a smash of
    poet.””
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
