Famous quotes containing the word shades:

Whether the nobler chaplets wear
Those that their mistress’ scorn did bear,
Or those that were used kindly.”

—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“We should read history as little critically as we consider the landscape, and be more interested by the atmospheric tints and various lights and shades which the intervening spaces create than by its groundwork and composition.”
