Striking Surface

Famous quotes containing the words striking and/or surface:

“One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“All beauties contain, like all possible phenomena, something eternal and something transitory,—something absolute and something particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction skimmed from the common surface of different sorts of beauty. The particular element of each beauty comes from the emotions, and as we each have our own particular emotions, so we have our beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
