More quotes by Anna Brownell Jameson

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
A good taste is often unconscious a just taste is always conscious.
Anna Brownell Jameson
As the presence of those we love is as a double life, so absence, in its anxious longing and sense of vacancy, is as a foretaste of death.
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
What we truly and earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense we are.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Avarice is to the intellect what sensuality is to the morals.
