Edith Bolling Galt

Famous quotes containing the words edith and/or galt:

    “Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.”
    —Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    “The hearts that would have given their blood like water,
    Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic roar.
    Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand:
    But we are exiles from our fathers’ land.”
    —John Galt (1877–1957)
