Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or blade:
“I will take no more physick, not even my opiates; for I have prayed that I may render up my soul to God unclouded.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“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)
