Keith

Famous quotes containing the word keith:

    The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it. The two things that nearly all of us have thoroughly and really been through are childhood and youth. And though we would not have them back again on any account, we feel that they are both beautiful, because we have drunk them dry.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Art consists of limitation.... The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
