Hidden Theme

Famous quotes containing the words hidden and/or theme:

    “A woman’s whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless—for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.”
    —Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    “She is a theme of honor and renown,
    A spur to valiant and magnanimous deeds,
    Whose present courage may beat down our foes,
    And fame in time to come canonize us.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
