What is triumph?

Famous quotes containing the word triumph:

    Drawing is a struggle between nature and the artist, in which the better the artist understands the intentions of nature, the more easily he will triumph over it. For him it is not a question of copying, but of interpreting in a simpler and more luminous language.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Most glorious Lord of life! that, on this day,
    Didst make thy triumph over death and sin;
    And, having harrowed hell, didst bring away
    Captivity thence captive, us to win:
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    To live for a principle, for the triumph of some reform by which all mankind are to be lifted up—to be wedded to an idea—may be, after all, the holiest and happiest of marriages.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
