Famous quotes containing the words select and/or gallery:

    “We must select the Illusion which appeals to our temperament and embrace it with passion, if we want to be happy.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
