Famous quotes containing the words weapon and/or forms:
“Temptation is the woman’s weapon and the man’s excuse.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“I am not so foolish as to declaim against forms. Forms are as essential as bodies; but to exalt particular forms, to adhere to one form a moment after it is outgrown, is unreasonable, and it is alien to the spirit of Christ.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
