Famous quotes containing the words desired and/or effect:
“Whom we desired above all things to know,
Sister of the mirage and echo.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“The sensation of seeing extremely fine women, with superb forms, perfectly unconscious of undress, and yet evidently aware of their beauty and dignity, is worth a week’s seasickness to experience.... To me the effect [of a Siva dance] was that of a dozen Rembrandts intensified into the most glowing beauty of life and motion.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
