“There must be some one quality without which a work of art cannot exist; possessing which, in the least degree, no work is altogether worthless.”
Clive Bell
“Whatever harsh criticisms may be passed on the construction of her sentences, she at least possesses that one touch of vulgarity that makes the whole world kin.”
Oscar Wilde
“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”
Anais Nin
“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”
Kahlil Gibran
“The search for truth is more precious than its possession.”
Albert Einstein
“Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.”
William Arthur Ward
“Possessions are usually diminished by possession.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
