Goldsmith Composed

Famous quotes containing the words goldsmith and/or composed:

“When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And finds too late that men betray,
What charm can soothe her melancholy,
What art can wash her guilt away?

The only art her guilt to cover,
To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosom—is to die.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)

“Everything great in the world comes from neurotics. They alone have founded our religions and composed our masterpieces.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
