Famous quotes containing the word composition:

    “Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
    —James Boswell (1740–1795)

    “The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
