Browning

Famous quotes containing the word browning:

    The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life:
    Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Progress, man’s distinctive mark alone,
    Not God’s, and not the beasts’: God is, they are,
    Man partly is and wholly hopes to be.
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    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)
