Famous quotes containing the word bare:
“If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no reason could be given at all why a mirror or looking-glass should not understand; whereas it cannot so much as sensibly perceive those images which it receives and reflects to us.”
—Ralph J. Cudworth (16171688)
“In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
Thoppressors wrong, the proud mans contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the laws delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of thunworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
