Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the “disenchantment of the world.” Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.”
    —Max Weber (1864–1920)

    “Fear no more the frown o’ th’ great,
    Thou art past the tyrant’s stroke;
    Care no more to clothe and eat,
    To thee the reed is as the oak.
    The sceptre, learning, physic, must
    All follow this and come to dust.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
