Famous quotes containing the words art and/or songs:
“The art of pleasing is the art of deceiving.”
—Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715–1747)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
