Famous quotes containing the words notable, people and/or killed:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Thus Pyrrhonism is not a sect of people who are persuaded of what they say, but it is a sect of liars.”
—Antoine Arnauld (1612–1694)
“One sometimes says: He killed himself because he was bored with life. One ought rather to say: He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
