Famous quotes containing the words left and/or ideal:
“If you’re going to burn, burn.
If you’re going to boil, boil
and if you’re breaking, O Heart,
go ahead and break,
for I’ve just left him,
that no-good man.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“Poetry, at all times, exercises two distinct functions: it may reveal, it may unveil to every eye, the ideal aspects of common things ... or it may actually add to the number of motives poetic and uncommon in themselves, by the imaginative creation of things that are ideal from their very birth.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
