Natural Basis

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or basis:

“Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.””
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

“Had we not loved ourselves at all, we could never have been obliged to love anything. So that self-love is the basis of all love.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
