Formal Occasions

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or occasions:

    The manifestation of poetry in external life is formal perfection. True sentiment grows within, and art must represent internal phenomena externally.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    There are some occasions in which a man must tell half his secret, in order to conceal the rest; but there is seldom one in which a man should tell all. Great skill is necessary to know how far to go, and where to stop.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
