Black Stuff Gown

Famous quotes containing the words black, stuff and/or gown:

    “What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution.”
    —Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    “... our lives are like soap operas. We can go for months and not tune in to them, then six months later we look in and the same stuff is going on.”
    —Jane Wagner (b. 1935)

    “GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
    Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
    And brought Olympian wisdom down
    To court and mar, to gown and town,
    Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
    The open secret of to-day.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
