Walter Pater Quotes About Quality

Quotes about: Quality

• Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass.

  Walter Pater

  Art, Giving, Quality

  1873 'Conclusion' in Studies in the History of the Renaissance.

• To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life . . . Not the fruit of experience, but experience itself, is the end . . . For art comes to you professing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass, and simply for those moments' sake.

  Walter Pater

  Art, Flames, Giving

• Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.

  Walter Pater

  Special, Quality, Useless
