True Black

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or black:

“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
—Freya Stark (1893–1993)

“Thou turn’st my eyes into my very soul,
And there I see such black and grained spots
As will not leave their tinct.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
