Sacred Tree

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or tree:

“Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it “the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.” The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of “Artist.””
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

“Sir, he throws away his money without thought and without merit. I do not call a tree generous that sheds its fruit at every breeze.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
