Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or precedence:
“There is one thing higher than Royalty: and that is religion, which causes us to leave the world, and seek God.”
—Elizabeth I (15331603)
“What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artists presence makes itself felt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the souls style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.”
—Jean Cocteau (18891963)
