Famous quotes containing the words called and/or mother:
“Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it “the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.” The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of “Artist.””
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“Do you think your mother and I should have lived comfortably so long together, if ever we had been married? Baggage!”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
