Famous quotes containing the word content:

    “It seems that I must bid the Muse to pack,
    Choose Plato and Plotinus for a friend
    Until imagination, ear and eye,
    Can be content with argument and deal
    In abstract things; or be derided by
    A sort of battered kettle at the heel.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “First it must be known that only a spoken word or a conventional sign is an equivocal or univocal term; therefore a mental content or concept is, strictly speaking, neither equivocal nor univocal.”
    —William of Occam (c. 1285–1349)

    “You are not satisfied unless form is so strictly divorced from content that you can comprehend the one without almost without bothering to read the other.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
