Original Trial

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or trial:

    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)

    Between us two it’s not a star at all.
    It’s a new patented electric light,
    Put up on trial by that Jerseyite
    So much is being now expected of....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
