Original Line

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or line:

    “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)

    “Every age has its temptations, its weaknesses, its dangers. Ours is in the line of the snobbish and the sordid.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
