Famous quotes containing the word art:
“Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.””
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The essential function of art is moral.... But a passionate, implicit morality, not didactic. A morality which changes the blood, rather than the mind.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
