Famous quotes containing the words suspects, held, intelligence and/or agencies:

    “Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “The earth is not earth but a stone,
    Not the mother that held men as they fell
    But stone, but like a stone, no: not
    The mother, but an oppressor, but like
    An oppressor that grudges them their death,
    As it grudges the living that they live.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The middlebrow is the man, or woman, of middlebred intelligence who ambles and saunters now on this side of the hedge, now on that, in pursuit of no single object, neither art itself nor life itself, but both mixed indistinguishably, and rather nastily, with money, fame, power, or prestige.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “While it is generally agreed that the visible expressions and agencies are necessary instruments, civilization seems to depend far more fundamentally upon the moral and intellectual qualities of human beings—upon the spirit that animates mankind.”
    —Mary Ritter Beard (1876–1958)
