Famous quotes containing the words smyth and/or court:

    The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?
    —Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)

    To rear a tiger is to court calamity.
    Chinese proverb.
