Famous quotes containing the words oil and/or paints:

    “No skilled hands
    caress a stranger’s flesh with lucid oil before
    a word is spoken

    before a tale is told, before
    the stranger tells his name.”

    Alive along these crowded shelves;
    And Shakespeare treads again his stage,
    And Chaucer paints anew his age.”
