Famous quotes containing the words virtuoso, universal and/or structure:
“I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasnt pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with. And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.”
—Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)
“They are universal places, like churches, hallowed meeting places of all mankind.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
“When a house is tottering to its fall,
The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
