Famous quotes containing the words aesthetic, visual and/or arts:
“Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“I won’t undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
