Definitive Gold Box

Famous quotes containing the words definitive, gold and/or box:

“... But all the feelings that evoke in us the joy or the misfortune of a real person are only produced in us through the intermediary of an image of that joy or that misfortune; the ingeniousness of the first novelist was in understanding that, in the apparatus of our emotions, since the image is the only essential element, the simplification which consists of purely and simply suppressing the factual characters is a definitive improvement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“Whatever is gold does not glitter. A gentle radiance belongs to the noblest metal.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“All your lovely words are spoken.
Once the ivory box is broken,
Beats the golden bird no more.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
