Pure Imaginary

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or imaginary:

    Nay but you, who do not love her,
    Is she not pure gold, my mistress?
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    History counts its skeletons in round numbers.
    A thousand and one remains a thousand,
    as though the one had never existed:
    an imaginary embryo, an empty cradle,
    ...
    emptiness running down steps toward the garden,
    nobody’s place in line.
    Wislawa Szymborska (b. 1923)
