Drawing Weight

Famous quotes containing the words drawing and/or weight:

    For later in the vast gloom of cities, only there you learn
    How the ideas were good only because they had to die,
    Leaving you alone and skinless, a drawing by Vesalius.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honour is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don’t resent them, you are not fit to live.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
