Ideal

Famous quotes containing the word ideal:

    The great attraction of fashion is that it diverted attention from the insoluble problems of beauty and provided an easy way—which money could buy ... to a simply stated, easily reproduced ideal of beauty, however temporary that ideal.
    Theodore Zeldin (b. 1923)

    Whoever has witnessed another’s ideal becomes his inexorable judge and as it were his evil conscience.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Realism absorbs the ideal by adding a few small imperfections. Example: it paints a few specks of mud on the white gown of the Lady in the Garden.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
