Case

Famous quotes containing the word case:

    I love to weigh, to settle, to gravitate toward that which most strongly and rightfully attracts me;Mnot hang by the beam of the scale and try to weigh less,—not suppose a case, but take the case that is; to travel the only path I can, and that on which no power can resist me. It affords me no satisfaction to commence to spring an arch before I have got a solid foundation.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Instructing in cures, therapists always recommend that “each case be individualized.” If this advice is followed, one becomes persuaded that those means recommended in textbooks as the best, means perfectly appropriate for the template case, turn out to be completely unsuitable in individual cases.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Captain Quinlan: When this case is over, I’ll come around some night and sample some of your chili.
    Tanya: Better be careful. May be too hot for you.
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)
