Conception Day

Famous quotes containing the words conception and/or day:

“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

“That is mere sentimentality that lies abed by day and thinks itself white, far from the tan and callus of experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
