Famous quotes containing the words honors, wind and/or symphony:

    There is a moment when god honors falsehood.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    This girl borrowed no dim light of a star
    Nor ever night held her in a dark mesh,
    A slim bloom she stood of the first larkspur,
    A wind of spring fluttered in her white flesh.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
