Famous quotes containing the word masters:
“Today as in the time of Pliny and Columella, the hyacinth flourishes in Wales, the periwinkle in Illyria, the daisy on the ruins of Numantia; while around them cities have changed their masters and their names, collided and smashed, disappeared into nothingness, their peaceful generations have crossed down the ages as fresh and smiling as on the days of battle.”
—Edgar Quinet (1803–1875)
“Disciples be damned. It’s not interesting. It’s only the masters that matter. Those who create.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“The masters of the subtle schools
Are controversial, polymath.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
