More quotes by Anna Brownell Jameson

Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man youth never.

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
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.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A bond is necessary to complete our being, only we must be careful that the bond does not become bondage.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Fame is that which is known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds.
Anna Brownell Jameson
All government, all exercise of power, no matter in what form, which is not based in love and directed by knowledge, is a tyranny.

In every mind where there is a strong tendency to fear there is a strong capacity to hate. Those who dwell in fear dwell nest door to hate and I think it is the cowardice of women which makes them such intense haters.
Anna Brownell Jameson
You must never believe what the newspapers say. I stand aghast at the impudence of the lies they contain, things not only false in fact, but absolutely impossible.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Chill penury weighs down the heart itself and though it sometimes be endured with calmness, it is but the calmness of despair.
