Famous quotes containing the word shape:

By suicide, I reintroduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“Art, like Nature, has her monsters, things of bestial shape and with hideous voices.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“We cannot and must not get rid of nor deny our characteristics. But we can give them shape and direction.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
