Famous quotes containing the words arts and and/or arts:

    “I should say that the most prominent scientific men of our country, and perhaps of this age, are either serving the arts and not pure science, or are performing faithful but quite subordinate labors in particular departments. They make no steady and systematic approaches to the central fact.... There is wanting constant and accurate observation with enough of theory to direct and discipline it. But, above all, there is wanting genius.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “These arts open great gates of a future, promising to make the world plastic and to lift human life out of its beggary to a god- like ease and power.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
