"The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much." ― William Hazlitt Topic(s): Art More From William Hazlitt "Anyone who has passed though the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape." "No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history." "Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves." More In Art "Art is magic… But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic."― Hans Hofmann "You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war."― Napoleon Bonaparte "Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don’t believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art’s sake."― E. M. Forster
