Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or form:
“Some day the soft Ideal that we wooed
Confronts us fiercely, foe-beset, pursued,
And cries reproachful: “Was it then my praise,
And not myself was loved? Prove now thy truth;
I claim of thee the promise of thy youth.””
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“Snobbery? But it’s only a form of despair.”
—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
