Woman Thou Art

Famous quotes containing the words thou art, woman, thou and/or art:

    I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    There is no spectacle on earth more appealing than that of a beautiful woman in the act of cooking dinner for someone she loves.
    Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)

    Thy brother by decree is banishèd.
    If thou dost bend, and pray, and fawn for him,
    I spurn thee like a cur out of my way.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.
    Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
