Choice Plan

Famous quotes containing the words choice and/or plan:

    The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world of its own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    Any plan conceived in moderation must fail when the circumstances are set in extremes.
    —Klemens Wenzel Neponuk Lothar Von, Prince Metternich (1773–1859)
