Famous quotes containing the words rare and, rare and/or tracks:

    “All the rare and royal names
    Wormy sheepskin yet retains:”
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    “It is rare indeed that people give. Most people guard and keep; they suppose that it is they themselves and what they identify with themselves that they are guarding and keeping, whereas what they are actually guarding and keeping is their system of reality and what they assume themselves to be.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    “Truth is one, but error proliferates. Man tracks it down and cuts it up into little pieces hoping to turn it into grains of truth. But the ultimate atom will always essentially be an error, a miscalculation.”
    —René Daumal (1908–1944)
