Received Mixed

Famous quotes containing the words received and/or mixed:

“I waited alone, in the company of orchids, roses and violets who—like people waiting beside you, but to whom you are unknown—maintained a silence which their individuality of living things rendered more imposing and in their chilly manner received the heat from an incandescent coal fire, preciously placed behind a crystal glass, in a white marble tub where it dropped, from time to time, its dangerous rubies.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
