Famous quotes containing the words beautiful and/or intentions:
“Apart from their other characteristics, the outstanding thing about China’s 600 million people is that they are “poor and blank.” This may seem a bad thing, but in reality it is a good thing. Poverty gives rise to the desire for change, the desire for action and the desire for revolution. On a blank sheet of paper free from any mark, the freshest and most beautiful pictures can be painted.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“My intentions go one way, my desires another. Thus I feel both self-indulgent and deprived.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
