Tim Noble and Sue Webster - Interviews With Tim Noble and Sue Webster

Famous quotes containing the words interviews, noble, sue and/or webster:

“What a perpetual disappointment is actual society, even of the virtuous and gifted! After interviews have been compassed with long foresight, we must be tormented presently by baffled blows, by sudden, unseasonable apathies, by epilepsies of wit and of animal spirits, in the heyday of friendship and thought. Our faculties do not play us true, and both parties are relieved by solitude.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“O, what a noble mind is here o’erthrown!
The courtier’s, soldier’s, scholar’s,eye, tongue, sword,
Th’ expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mold of form,
Th’ observed of all observers, quite, quite down!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Apart, we think we wish ourselves together,
Yet sue for solitude upon our meetings....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Heaven-gates are not so highly arched
As princes’ palaces: they that enter there
Must go upon their knees.”
—John Webster (1580–1625)
