"What is art but the life upon..." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“A man may love a woman perfectly, and yet by no means ignorantly maintain a thousand women have not larger eyes. Enough that she alone has looked at him with eyes that, large or small, have won his soul.”

“Thou large-brain'd woman and large-hearted man.”

“The essence of all beauty, I call love.”

“I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die.”

“The purpose of Art is to create enthusiasm.”

“What is genius but the power of expressing a new individuality?”

“To meet the objections of some inveterate cavillers, I may as well state, that if I dined out occasionally, as I always had done,and I trust shall have opportunities to do again, it was frequently to the detriment of my domestic arrangements.”

“Little by little old age renders the body less powerful.”

“Algy, you always adopt a strictly immoral attitude towards life. You are not quite old enough to do that.”
