Acquired

Famous quotes containing the word acquired:

    The actor can be compared to the soldier. The former dazzled by his triumphs, sighs continually for the struggles of stage- life; the latter filled with the glory he has acquired on the battlefield, cannot resign himself to peace.
    Adelaide Ristori (1822–1906)

    You in the West have a problem. You are unsure when you are being lied to, when you are being tricked. We do not suffer from this; and unlike you, we have acquired the skill of reading between the lines.
    Zdenek Urbának (b. 1917)

    Before I put a brush to canvas, I question, “Is this mine?... Is it influenced by some idea which I have acquired from some man?”... I am trying with all my skill to do a painting that is all of women, as well as all of me.
    Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986)
