Famous quotes containing the words main, abbey, series and/or reading:
“I know that some will have hard thoughts of me, when they hear their Christ named beside my Buddha, yet I am sure that I am willing they should love their Christ more than my Buddha, for the love is the main thing, and I like him too.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The Abbey always reminds me of that old toast, Above lofty timbers, the walls around are bare, echoing to our laughter, as though the dead were there.”
—Garrett Fort (19001945)
“A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (18041881)
“... in doing our psychology, we want to attribute mental states fully opaquely because its the fully opaque reading which tells us what the agent has in mind, and its what the agent has in mind that causes his behavior.”
—Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
