Famous quotes containing the word meaning:
“Well may Mr. [David] Garrick be so celebrated, so universally admiredI had not any idea of so great a performer. Such ease! such vivacity in his manner! such grace in his motions! such fire and meaning in his eyes!I could hardly believe he had studied a written part, for every word seemed uttered from the impulse of the moment. ... his voiceso clear, so melodious, yet so wonderfully various in its tones!”
—Frances Burney (17521840)
“To lose sensibility, to see what one sees,
As if sight had not its own miraculous thrift,
To hear only what one hears, one meaning alone,
As if the paradise of meaning ceased
To be paradise, it is this to be destitute.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Wisdom is not just knowing fundamental truths, if these are unconnected with the guidance of life or with a perspective on its meaning. If the deep truths physicists describe about the origin and functioning of the universe have little practical import and do not change our picture of the meaning of the universe and our place within it, then knowing them would not count as wisdom.”
—Robert Nozick (b. 1938)
