Splendor

Famous quotes containing the word splendor:

“The distractions, the exhaustions, the savage noises, the demands of town life, are, for me, mortal enemies to thought, to sleep, and to study; its extremes of squalor and of splendor do not stimulate, but sadden me; certain phases of its society I profoundly value, but would sacrifice them to the heaven of country quiet, if I had to choose between.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

“A new beauty has been added to the splendor of the world—the beauty of speed.”
—Tommaso Marinetti (1876–1944)

“the splendor without rays, the shining shadow,
Peace-bringer, the matrix of all shining and quieter of shining.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
