Gilt Quotes

Gilt Definition  
But the disparaging of those we love always alienates us from them to some extent. We must not touch our idols; the gilt comes off in our hands.
Gustave Flaubert

Quicksilver is used for many purposes; without it, neither silver nor brass can be properly gilt.
Marcus V. Pollio

Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.
Mary Wollstonecraft
