All who contribute to the overthrow of religion, or to the ruin of kingdoms and commonwealths, all who are foes to letters and to the arts which confer honour and benefit on the human race (among whom i reckon the impious, the cruel, the ignorant, the indolent, the base and the worthless), are held in infamy and detestation.

Art Race Ignorant

More From Niccolo Machiavelli

All the arts, music, the visual arts, acting and dancing arts, cooking arts, and i believe sports, will save the human race because they can leap over barriers, religions, leap over barriers of race, politics.

I wrote a huge number of letters that spring: one a week to naoko, several to reiko, and several more to midori. i wrote letters in the classroom, i wrote letters at my desk at home with seagull in my lap, i wrote letters at empty tables during my breaks at the italian restaurant. it was as if i were writing letters to hold together the pieces of my crumbling life.

The impious soul, however, punishes itself by seeking a human body to enter into, for no other body can receive a human soul; it cannot enter the body of an animal devoid of reason. divine law preserves the human soul from such infamy... the soul passeth from form to form; and the mansions of her pilgrimage are manifold. thou puttest off thy bodies as raiment; and as vesture dost thou fold them up. thou art from old, o soul of man; yea, thou art from everlasting.

Marry, sir, they praise me and make an ass of me. now my foes tell me plainly i am an ass; so that by my foes, sir, i profit in the knowledge of myself, any by my friends i am abused; so that, conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives make your two affirmatives, why then, the worse for my friends, and the better for my foes.

Dancing and building are the two primary and essential arts. the art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that expressthemselves first in the human person. the art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite. music, acting, poetry proceed in the one mighty stream; sculpture, painting, all the arts of design, in the other. there is no primary art outside these two arts, for their origin is far earlier than man himself; and dancing came first.

Ye shall only have foes to be hated; but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes.
