Famous quotes containing the words side and/or effects:
“I come more and more to the conclusion that one must take the side of the minority which is always the more intelligent one.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing. What horrors of damp huts, where human beings languish, may not become picturesque through aerial distance! What hymning of cancerous vices may we not languish over as sublimest art in the safe remoteness of a strange language and artificial phrase! Yet we keep a repugnance to rheumatism and other painful effects when presented in our personal experience.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
