Famous quotes containing the words principle and/or worship:
“It were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formal principle of its colour and odour, as seek to transfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet. The plant must spring again from its seed, or it will bear no flower—and this is the burthen of the curse of Babel.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“I hear as good exclamation on your worship as of any man in the city.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
