Magnificent

Famous quotes containing the word magnificent:

    All of our lives is a rebus
    Of little wooden animals painted shy,
    Terrific colors, magnificent and horrible,
    Close together.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    We that had loved him so, followed him, honored him,
    Lived in his mild and magnificent eye,
    Learned his great language, caught his clear accents,
    Made him our pattern to live and to die!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    The human spirit is itself the most wonderful fairy tale that can possibly be. What a magnificent world lies enclosed within our bosoms! No solar orbit hems it in, the inexhaustible wealth of the total visible creation is outweighed by its riches!
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
