Although art is difficult to define and people will disagree with this quote, I still think it has a ring of truth to it.

Art follows nature as student follows his master. Confucius

I love Wittgenstein's quote!

In modern language: "Shut up, dumb-ass!"

That was one of my Gran's, I always use it to justify buying shoes!!

Some of my faves are from Dorothy Parker :

If all the girls who attended Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B (said about Katherine Hepurn)

Take care of the luxuries and the necesseties will take care of themselves.

And my fave:

You can take a whore to culture but you can't make her think.
