Dismal Science

Famous quotes containing the words dismal and/or science:

    O, I have passed a miserable night,
    So full of fearful dreams, of ugly sights,
    That, as I am a Christian faithful man,
    I would not spend another such a night
    Though ‘twere to buy a world of happy days,
    So full of dismal terror was the time.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Human Nature is the only science of man; and yet has been hitherto the most neglected.
