Famous quotes containing the words grace and/or scott:

    Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
    May boldly deviate from the common track.
    From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
    And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
    Which without passing through the judgment, gains
    The heart, and all its end at once attains.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    I’ve created a hundred times the monster that my father made.
    —W. Scott Darling. Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Frankenstein (Sir Cedric Hardwicke)
