Famous quotes containing the words races, creatures, dark and/or materials:
“There are only two races on this planet—the intelligent and the stupid.”
—John Fowles (b. 1926)
“All nature’s creatures join to express nature’s purpose. Somewhere in their mounting and mating, rutting and butting is the very secret of nature itself.”
—Graham Swift (b. 1949)
“ethereal, their mauve
almost a transparent gray,
their dark veins
bruise-blue.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Herein is the explanation of the analogies, which exist in all the arts. They are the re-appearance of one mind, working in many materials to many temporary ends. Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakspeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it. Painting was called “silent poetry,” and poetry “speaking painting.” The laws of each art are convertible into the laws of every other.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
