Famous quotes containing the words legitimate, members, ink and/or spots:
“The only legitimate artists in England are the architects.”
—Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)
“Religion is the centre which unites, and the cement which connects the several parts of members of the political body.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“Language has not the power to speak what love indites:
The Soul lies buried in the ink that writes.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
