Famous quotes containing the word art:

    Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Blest with each talent, and each art to please,
    And born to write, converse, and live with ease
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
