We efface an hour by passionate love, without twists, without aftertaste. When it is finished, it is not finished, we lie still in each other's arms lulled by our love, by tenderness -- sensuality in which the whole being can participate.
Anais Nin
Image
The good we do to others is spoilt unless we efface ourselves so completely that those we help have no sense of inferiority.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Industry in art is a necessity - not a virtue - and any evidence of the same, in the production, is a blemish, not a quality a proof, not of achievement, but of absolutely insufficient work, for work alone will efface the footsteps of work.
James Whistler
Image
I like the concept of an anti-muse, though I'm not quite sure what that is. If there is such a thing in my life, I suppose it is just this weariness, this sense that it is more fulfilling not to exist, to efface all traces, than to limit oneself to the determined expression of manifestation.
Quentin S. Crisp

Why is it that water, so monotonous in its characteristics, should nevertheless possess a charm for every mind? I believe it is chiefly because it bears the impress of the Creator, which we feel neither the power of time or of man can efface or alter.

The solution to a problem - a story that you are unable to finish - is the problem. It isn't as if the problem is one thing and the solution something else. The problem, properly understood = the solution. Instead of trying to hide or efface what limits the story, capitalize on that very limitation. State it, rail against it.
Susan Sontag
Image
One of the hardest labours of the just man is to expunge from his soul a malevolence which it is difficult to efface.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.
George Orwell
Image
Work alone will efface the footsteps of work.
James Whistler
Image
Life is but one continual course of instruction. The hand of the parent writes on the heart of the child the first faint characters which time deepens into strength so that nothing can efface them.
Paul R. Hill
Image
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.
Rajneesh
Image
Let us shun everything, which might tend to efface the primitive lineaments of our individuality. Let us reflect that each one of us is a thought of God.
Sophie Swetchine
Image
Science is continually correcting what it has said. Fertile corrections... science is a ladder... poetry is a winged flight... An artistic masterpiece exists for all time... Dante does not efface Homer.
Victor Hugo
Image
The very beautiful rarely love at all those precious images are placed above the reach of the passions: Time alone is permitted to efface them.
Walter Savage Landor
