Short Confession

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or confession:

“Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One exhausts what they have to say in a very short time, and then they become as tedious as one’s relations.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“There is confession in the glances of our eyes; in our smiles; in salutations; and the grasp of hands.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
