Intellectual Beauty

Famous quotes containing the words intellectual and/or beauty:

“The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn’t betray it I’d be ashamed of myself.”

“The morning rose, that untouched stands
Armed with her briars, how sweet she smells!
But plucked and strained through ruder hands,
Her sweets no longer with her dwells,
But scent and beauty both are gone,
And leaves fall from her, one by one.”
—Sir Robert Ayton (1570–1638)
