Original Designs

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or designs:

“Painting myself for others, I have painted my inward self with colors clearer than my original ones. I have no more made my book than my book has made me—a book consubstantial with its author, concerned with my own self, an integral part of my life; not concerned with some third-hand, extraneous purpose, like all other books.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is; that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
