Famous quotes containing the word abstract:

    “Some ghosts are women,
    neither abstract nor pale,
    their breasts as limp as killed fish.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Oh, may the tide be soon enough at high
    To keep our abstract verse from being dry.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
