Famous quotes containing the word mixture:

    “There appears to be but two grand master passions or movers in the human mind, namely, love and pride. And what constitutes the beauty or deformity of a man’s character is the choice he makes under which banner he determines to enlist himself. But there is a strong distinction between different degress in the same thing and a mixture of two contraries.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “His work was that curious mixture of bad painting and good intentions that always entitles a man to be called a representative British artist.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “We are all such accidents. We do not make up history and culture. We simply appear, not by our own choice. We make what we can of our condition with the means available. We must accept the mixture as we find it—the impurity of it, the tragedy of it, the hope of it.”
    —Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
