Rembrandt

« All quotes from this author
 

His temperament was that of a Prophet — a God-possessed man, brother to Dostoevski, and teeming with the future, a future he bore within him as the Hebrew prophets bore within them the coming of the Messiah, and as he bore within himself the past.
--
André Malraux as quoted in Painters on Painting (1963) by Eric Protter, p. 78

Duly twice a morning
Would I be sprinkling it with fountain-water.
At last it grew, and grew, and bore, and bore,
Till at the length
It grew a gallows, and did bear our son,
It bore thy fruit and mine: O wicked, wicked plant.

 
Thomas Kyd
 

[Bill Clinton] has not a creative bone in his body. Therefore he is a bore and will always be a bore.

 
David Brinkley
 

Dear, don't bore him with trivia or burden him with your past mistakes. The happiest way to deal with a man is never to tell him anything he does not need to know.

 
Robert A. Heinlein
 

'Tis greatly wise to talk with our past hours,
And ask them what report they bore to heaven.

 
Edward Young
 

Do not mourn the past, my brother; it has given place to better times. Do not dread the coming of the future; it shall dawn in brighter and safer glory. Come, and upon the altars of the faith be anointed as the Daniels of to-day, at once the prophet and the worker — the brow bright with the shining prophecy, the hands full of earnest and of holy deeds.
