Illustration Art Book

Famous quotes containing the words illustration, art and/or book:

    An illustration is no argument,—nor do I maintain the wiping of a looking-glass clean, to be a syllogism;Mbut you all, may it please your worships, see the better for it.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    The material was pure, and his art was pure; how could the result be other than wonderful?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Painting myself for others, I have painted my inward self with colors clearer than my original ones. I have no more made my book than my book has made me—a book consubstantial with its author, concerned with my own self, an integral part of my life; not concerned with some third-hand, extraneous purpose, like all other books.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
