Celebrated Paintings

Famous quotes containing the words celebrated and/or paintings:

    I should prefer a Woman that is agreeable in my own Eye, and not deformed in that of the World, to a celebrated Beauty. If you marry one remarkably beautiful, you must have a violent Passion for her, or you have not the proper Taste of her Charms; and if you have such a Passion for her, it is odds but it will be imbittered [sic] with Fears and Jealousies.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    A thousand moral paintings I can show
    That shall demonstrate these quick blows of Fortune’s
    More pregnantly than words.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
