Famous quotes containing the word interior:

    “Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Alas! when Virtue sits high aloft on a frigate’s poop, when Virtue is crowned in the cabin of a Commodore, when Virtue rules by compulsion, and domineers over Vice as a slave, then Virtue, though her mandates be outwardly observed, bears little interior sway.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “The monk in hiding himself from the world becomes not less than himself, not less of a person, but more of a person, more truly and perfectly himself: for his personality and individuality are perfected in their true order, the spiritual, interior order, of union with God, the principle of all perfection.”
    —Thomas Merton (1915–1968)
