Famous quotes containing the word purity:

    His purity was too great, his aspiration too high for this poor, miserable world! His great soul is now only enjoying that for which it was worthy!
    Victoria (1819–1901)

    The purity of today will invest us like a breeze,
    Only be hard, spare, ironical: something one can
    Tip one’s hat to and still get some use out of.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;
    Admonish us to cling to that
    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
