Famous quotes containing the words absolute and/or dates:
“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)
“Dates are stupidly annoying—what we want is not dates but taste;Myet we are uncomfortable without them.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
