Famous quotes containing the word brand:
“Obligation may be stretched till it is no better than a brand of slavery stamped on us when we were too young to know its meaning.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
““Why does your brand so drop with blood,
Edward, Edward?”
—Unknown. Edward (l. 1–2)
