Small Frame

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or frame:

“The important thing is that when you come to understand something you act on it, no matter how small that act is. Eventually it will take you where you need to go.”
—Helen Prejean (b. 1940)

“Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
