Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or inspiration:

    “Foul whisp’rings are abroad. Unnatural deeds
    Do breed unnatural troubles. Infected minds
    To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.
    More needs she the divine than the physician.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Poets should be lawgivers; that is, the boldest lyric inspiration should not chide and insult, but should announce and lead, the civil code, and the day’s work. But now the two things seem irreconcilably parted.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
