Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or blade:
“I am in love
And that is my shame.
What hurts the soul
My soul adores,
No better than beast
Upon all fours.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“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)
