Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or blade:
“Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“When he painted a road, the roadmakers were there in his imagination. When he painted the turned earth of a ploughed field, the gesture of the blade turning the earth was included in his own act. Wherever he looked he saw the labour of existence; and this labour, recognized as such, was what constituted reality for him.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
