Famous quotes containing the words article and/or association:

    Reviews and magazines are at best ephemeral & superficial reading. Who thinks of the grand article of last year in any given review?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
