Famous quotes containing the word expression:
“Surely it is one of the requisites of a tasteful garb that the expression of effort to please shall be wanting in it; that the mysteries of the toilet shall not be suggested by it; that the steps to its completion shall be knocked away like the sculptors ladder from the statue, and the mental force expended upon it be swept away out of sight like the chips on the studio floor.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (18441911)
“A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error. To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Lifes idea, Truth and Truths idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (18211910)
“I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.”
—Henry Miller (18911980)
