Aspect

Famous quotes containing the word aspect:

“The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If someone were to prove to me—right this minute—that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it wouldn’t change a single aspect of my behavior.”
—Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)

“Great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
