Explaining

Famous quotes containing the word explaining:

    ... does it seem to you that it is possible to speak of Art? It would be the same as explaining love!
    Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)

    If you’re lucky, you have money. That’s why it’s better to be born lucky than rich. If you’re rich, you can always lose your money, but if you’re lucky, you’ll always get more money.
    —Anthony PĂ©lissier. Explaining her philosophy of life to her son (1949)
