Famous quotes containing the word painted:
“Let Sporus trembleWhat? That thing of silk,
Sporus, that mere white curd of asss milk?
Satire or sense, alas, can Sporus feel,
Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?
Yet let me flap this bug with gilded wings,
This painted child of dirt, that stinks and stings;
Whose buzz the witty and the fair annoys,
Yet wit neer tastes, and beauty neer enjoys:”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
“Come gather round me players all:
Come praise Nineteen-Sixteen,
Those from the pit and gallery
Or from the painted scene
That fought in the Post Office
Or round the City Hall....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesnt everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.”
—Pablo Picasso (18811973)
