Resting Place

Famous quotes containing the words resting and/or place:

    We judge a horse not only by its pace on a racecourse, but also by its walk, nay, when resting in its stable.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world of its own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
