Famous quotes containing the words wide and/or form:
““How wide is all this long pretense!
There is in love a sweetness ready penned,
Copy out only that, and save expense.””
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“This conflict between the powers of love and chastity ... it ended apparently in the triumph of chastity. Love was suppressed, held in darkness and chains, by fear, conventionality, aversion, or a tremulous yearning to be pure.... But this triumph of chastity was only an apparent, a pyrrhic victory. It would break through the ban of chastity, it would emerge—if in a form so altered as to be unrecognizable.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
