Famous quotes containing the words white and/or shirt:
“But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
There’s a light and a shadow on every man
Who at last attains his lifted mark—
Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
Elate he never can be;
He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I love my work with a frenetic and perverse love, as an ascetic loves the hair shirt which scratches his belly.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
