Silver Crystal

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or crystal:

    So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say. But to sacrifice a hair of the head of your vision, a shade of its colour, in deference to some Headmaster with a silver pot in his hand or to some professor with a measuring-rod up his sleeve, is the most abject treachery, and the sacrifice or wealth and chastity, which used to be said to be the greatest of human disasters, a mere flea-bite in comparison.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    Shall we gather at the river,
    Where bright angel feet have trod;
    With its crystal tide for ever,
    Flowing by the throne of God?
    Robert Lowry (1826–1899)
