Anna Brownell Jameson
Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.
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
Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords-philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.
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
Occupation was one of the pleasures of paradise, and we cannot be happy without it.
Anna Brownell Jameson
In morals, what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness in religion, what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.
Anna Brownell Jameson
