Famous quotes containing the words heart, tragedy and/or essex:
“Oh, I must keep my heart inviolate
Against the potent poison of your hate.”
—Claude McKay (1889–1948)
“If tragedy elicits our compassion, comedy appeals to our self-interest. The former confronts life’s failures with noble fortitude, the latter seeks to circumvent them with shrewd nonchalance. The one leaves us momentarily in a mood of resignation, the other in a condition of euphoria.”
—Harry Levin (b. 1912)
“Well, it seems to me a scientist has need for both vision and confidence.”
—Harry Essex (b. 1910)
