Famous quotes containing the words imitation and/or pearls:
“To do the opposite of something is also a form of imitation, namely an imitation of its opposite.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“Love’s secrets, being mysteries, ever pertain to the transcendent and the infinite; and so they are as airy bridges, by which our further shadows pass over into the regions of the golden mists and exhalations; whence all poetical, lovely thoughts are engendered, and drop into us, as though pearls should drop from rainbows.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
