Barrett

Famous quotes containing the word barrett:

“Since the Greeks, Western man has believed that Being, all Being, is intelligible, that there is a reason for everything ... and that the cosmos is, finally, intelligible. The Oriental, on the other hand, has accepted his existence within a universe that would appear to be meaningless, to the rational Western mind, and has lived with this meaninglessness. Hence the artistic form that seems natural to the Oriental is one that is just as formless or formal, as irrational, as life itself.”
—William Barrett (b. 1913)

“For ‘tis not in mere death that men die most.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“But since he had
The genius to be loved, why let him have
The justice to be honored in his grave.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
