Famous quotes containing the words defying and/or gravity:
“Man seems to be capable of great virtues but not of small virtues; capable of defying his torturer but not of keeping his temper.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Here I sit down to form characters. One I intend to be all goodness; All goodness he is. Another I intend to be all gravity; All gravity he is. Another Lady Gish; All Lady Gish she is. I am all the while absorbed in the character. It is not fair to say—I, identically I, am anywhere, while I keep within the character.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
