Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or creation:

    “Sculpture and painting are very justly called liberal arts; a lively and strong imagination, together with a just observation, being absolutely necessary to excel in either; which, in my opinion, is by no means the case of music, though called a liberal art, and now in Italy placed even above the other two—a proof of the decline of that country.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded in the first man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
