Ideal Form

Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or form:

    “The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
