Famous quotes containing the word persons:
“One is never satisfied with a portrait of persons whom one knows. That is why I have always pitied portraitists. One demands so seldom of others the impossible, but demands just that of the portraitists.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“A new person is to me a great event, and hinders me from sleep. I have often had fine fancies about persons which have given me delicious hours; but the joy ends in the day; it yields no fruit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
