Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or duke:
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“That very knowing,
Overflowing,
Easygoing
Paladin,
The Duke of Plaza-Toro!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
