Importance

Famous quotes containing the word importance:

    When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared with one man?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    People without imagination are beginning to tire of the importance attached to comfort, to culture, to leisure, to all that destroys imagination. This means that people are not really tired of comfort, culture and leisure, but of the use to which they are put, which is precisely what stops us enjoying them.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
