Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or tree:
“We all agree nowby we I mean intelligent people under sixtythat a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. Unluckily, the matter does not end there: a rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.”
—Clive Bell (18811962)
“Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most
Must mourn the deepest oer the fatal truth,
The Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
