Outward Signs

Famous quotes containing the words outward and/or signs:

“The truest splendors are not in outward things, but in ourselves.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
