Famous quotes containing the words fictional, works and/or marlowe:

    “One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
    —Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    “Night and Day ‘ve been tampered with,
    Every quality and pith
    Surcharged and sultry with a power
    That works its will on age and hour.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “And one especiallie doe we affect,
    Of two gold Ingots like in each respect,
    The reason no man knowes, let it suffise,
    What we behold is censur’d by our eies.
    Where both deliberat, the love is slight,
    Who ever lov’d, that lov’d not at first sight?”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
