Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or palmer:
“He had not the least pride of birth and rank, that common narrow notion of little minds, that wretched mistaken succedaneum of merit.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense.... He cannot even be nourished by Art. Like Ephraim, he feeds upon the East wind, which has no boundaries.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
