The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation; his friends, his pleasures, patr...ons, and acquaintances are his capital.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist's presence makes itself fe...lt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul's style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the the land, In England there shall be dear bread--in Ireland, swor...d and brand; And poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand, So, rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand, Of the fine old English Tory days; Hail to the coming time!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. "Love thy neighbor as thy...self." Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A painter like Picasso, who runs through many periods and phases, ends up by saying all those things which are on the tip of the t...ongue of the age to say, and finally sterilizes the originality of his contemporaries and juniors.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There is a kind of strength that is almost frightening in black women. It's as if a steel rod runs right through the head down to ...the feet.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But, where the road runs near the stream, Oft through the trees they catch a glance... Of passing troops in the sun's beam-- Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance! Forth to the world those soldiers fare, To life, to cities, and to war!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
To dream magnificently is not a gift given to all men, and even for those who possess it, it runs a strong risk of being progressi...vely diminished by the ever-growing dissipation of modern life and by the restlessness engendered by material progress. The ability to dream is a divine and mysterious ability; because it is through dreams that man communicates with the shadowy world which surrounds him. But this power needs solitude to develop freely; the more one concentrates, the more one is likely to dream fully, deeply.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The advantage man enjoys, which makes itself felt from his childhood, is that his vocation as a human being in no way runs counter... to his destiny as a male. Through his identification of phallus and transcendence, it turns out that his social and spiritual successes endow him with a virile prestige. He is not divided. Whereas it is required of woman that in order to realize her femininity she must make herself object and prey, which is to say that she must renounce her claims as a sovereign subject. It is this conflict that especially marks the situation of the emancipated woman. She refuses to confine herself to her role as female, because she will not accept mutilation; but it would also be a mutilation to repudiate her sex. Man is a human being with sexuality; woman is a complete individual, equal to the male, only if she too is a human being with sexuality. To renounce her femininity is to renounce a part of her humanity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
