Private Static Void

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or void:

    Public scandal is what makes the offense; sinning in private is not sinning at all.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    The man Shelley, in very truth, is not entirely sane, and Shelley’s poetry is not entirely sane either. The Shelley of actual life is a vision of beauty and radiance, indeed, but availing nothing, effecting nothing. And in poetry, no less than in life, he is a beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain.”
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
