Roses/art

Famous quotes containing the words roses and/or art:

“Say that she rail, why then I’ll tell her plain
She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.
Say that she frown, I’ll say she looks as clear
As morning roses newly washed with dew.
Say she be mute, and will not speak a word,
Then I’ll commend her volubility,
And say she uttereth piercing eloquence.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
