Famous quotes containing the words gallery of, gallery, life and/or art:

    “I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “Et in Arcadia ego.
    [I too am in Arcadia.]”
