Famous quotes containing the word appearance:

    “Though an unpleasant sort of person, and even a queer threatener withal, yet, if one meets him, one must get along with him as one can; for his ignorance is extreme. And what under heaven indeed should such a phantasm as Death know, for all that the Appearance tacitly claims to be somebody that knows much?”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I think I am one of those who can manage not to take on a completely different appearance under their own glance.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    “The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
