More quotes by Anna Brownell Jameson
Conflict, which rouses up the best and highest powers in some characters, in others not only jars the whole being, but paralyzes the faculties.
Anna Brownell Jameson
The moment in which the spirit meets death is perhaps like the moment in which it is embraced in sleep. I suppose it never happened to any one to be conscious of the immediate transition from the waking to the sleeping state.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Thoughts and emotions which never perhaps were in the mind of the artist, never were anticipated, never were intended by him - may be strongly suggested by his work. This is an important part of the morals of art, which we must never lose sight of. Art is not only for pleasure and profit, but for good and for evil.
Anna Brownell Jameson
I have great admiration for power, a great terror of weakness, especially in my own sex, yet feel that my love is for those who overcome the mental and moral suffering and temptation through excess of tenderness rather than through excess of strength.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A man may be as much a fool from the want of sensibility as the want of sense.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Now, it is a good sanitary principle, that what is curative is preventive.
Anna Brownell Jameson
As the rolling stone gathers no moss, so the roving heart gathers no affections.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Nature is boundless in her powers, exhausting in her variety: the powers of Art and its capabilities of variety in production are bounded on every side. Nature herself, the infinite, has circumscribed the bounds of finite Art. The one is the divinity the other the priestess.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Talk without truth is the hollow brass talk without love is like the tinkling cymbal, and when it does not tinkle it jingles, and when it does not jingle, it jars.
Anna Brownell Jameson
All my experience of the world teaches me that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the safe side and the just side of a question is the generous side and the merciful side.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Extreme vanity sometimes hides under the garb of ultra modesty.
Anna Brownell Jameson
In our relations with the people around us, we forgive them more readily for what they do, which they can help, than for what they are, which they cannot help.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Nature and truth are one, and immutable, and inseparable as beauty and love.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Opinion has ever been stronger than law.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Blessed is the memory of those who have kept themselves unspotted from the world. Yet more blessed and more dear the memory of those who have kept themselves unspotted in the world.
Anna Brownell Jameson
He that seeks popularity in art closes the door on his own genius: as he must needs paint for other minds, and not for his own.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A cunning mind emphatically delights in its own cunning, and is the ready prey of cunning.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Satan--the impersonation of that mixture of the bestial, the malignant, the impious, and the hopeless, which constitute the fiend--the enemy of all that is human and divine.
Anna Brownell Jameson
the distinction between talent and genius is definite. Talent combines and uses genius combines and creates.
Anna Brownell Jameson
To reason from analogy is often dangerous, but to illustrate by a fanciful analogy is sometimes a means by which we light an idea, as it were, into the understanding of another.
