Famous quotes containing the words relationship, native, american and/or art:

    Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    In excited conversation we have glimpses of the universe, hints of power native to the soul, far-darting lights and shadows of an Andes landscape, such as we can hardly attain in lone meditation. Here are oracles sometimes profusely given, to which the memory goes back in barren hours.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I’m not an American hero. I’m a person that loves children.
    Clara Mcbride Hale (1905–1992)

    Come, Kate, thou art perfect in lying down.
    Come, quick, quick, that I may lay my head in thy lap.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
