Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    “No doubt, to a man of sense, travel offers advantages. As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man. A foreign country is a point of comparison, wherefrom to judge his own.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “all the arts lose virtue
    Against the essential reality
    Of creatures going about their business among the equally
    Earnest elements of nature.”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    “One man cannot practice many arts with success.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
