Quotes from Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Your eyes smile peace.

It is beautiful, the world, and life itself. I am glad I have lived.

Places that are empty of you are empty of life.

Conception, my boy, fundamental brain work, is what makes all the difference in art.

And Love, our light at night and shade at noon,Lulls us to rest with songs, and turns awayAll shafts of shelterless tumultuous day.

The sea hath no King but God alone.

Give honour unto Luke Evangelist; For he it was (the aged legends say) Who first taught Art to fold her hands and pray.

Conception my boy fundamental brainwork is what makes the difference in all art.

Beauty without the beloved is a like a sword through the heart.

Beauty like hers is genius.

Gather a shell from the strewn beach And listen at its lips: they sigh The same desire and mystery, The echo of the whole sea's speech.

Love is the last relay and ultimate outposts of eternity.
