Famous quotes containing the words art and/or gallery:
“Life without industry is guilt, industry without art is brutality.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
