World Called

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or called:

“The world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“Sculpture and painting are very justly called liberal arts; a lively and strong imagination, together with a just observation, being absolutely necessary to excel in either; which, in my opinion, is by no means the case of music, though called a liberal art, and now in Italy placed even above the other two—a proof of the decline of that country.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
