Jade Head

Famous quotes containing the words jade and/or head:

    Do not pray for gold and jade and precious things; pray that your children and grandchildren may all be good.
    Chinese proverb.

    Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing—to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
