Quote by Isaac Newton

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

Summary

This quote suggests that mistakes or flaws in a work of art should not be blamed on the art itself but rather on the artists who created it. It emphasizes the idea that errors are a result of human imperfections rather than inherent flaws within the artistic medium or process. It implies that the quality of a work depends on the skill and craftsmanship of the creator, and if errors are present, they are a reflection of the artist's shortcomings rather than an indictment of the art form itself.

The first time someone I loved left me behind...I didn't know how my family would balance. We had been such a sturdy little end table, four solid legs. I was sure we would now be off-kilter, always unstable. Until one day I looked more closely, and realized that we had simply become a stool.

There is only beauty -- and it has only one perfect expression -- poetry. All the rest is a lie --except for those who live by the body, love, and, that love of the mind, friendship. For me, Poetry takes the place of love, because it is enamored of itself, and because its sensual delight falls back deliciously in my soul.
