Quote & Fact...
Quote:
"Art, in the widest sense of the word, is the instrument Hellenism has used and would use for that purpose. All the arts, poetry, music, ritual, the visual arts, the theatre, must work singly and together to create the most comprehensive art of all, a humanized society, and its masterpiece, the free man."
"I wonder whether art has a higher function than to make me feel, appreciate, and enjoy natural objects for their art value?"
~ Bernard Berenson
Facts: Random
1.) Babe Ruth out-homered every American league team. The first time that this happened was in 1927. This totaled to around 35 different pitchers that Ruth had out-homered. (They were just built different back then.)
2.) Coca-cola was originally green. However, the company itself said that this may be due to the green bottles they once used. New marketing techniques switched to plastic bottles instead of glass later on. (Just another reason for me not to drink Coke. I've never been fond of ANY cola drink. When I drank soda it was a Dr Pepper, lemon-lime, cream or fruit soda. Peach being my favorite.)
