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

    “The capacity to give one’s attention to a sufferer is a very rare and difficult thing; it is almost a miracle; it is a miracle. Nearly all those who think they have this capacity do not possess it. Warmth of heart, impulsiveness, pity are not enough.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Leonid Ivanovich Shigaev is dead.... The suspension dots, customary in Russian obituaries, must represent the footprints of words that have departed on tiptoe, in reverent single file, leaving their tracks on the marble....”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
