Famous quotes containing the word grandeur:
“Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“The world is charged with the grandeur of God.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“The grandeur of a philosophy does not certify its truth.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
