Famous quotes containing the words leaf and/or gaps:
“I leaf through books, I do not study them. What I retain of them is something I no longer recognize as anyone else’s.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“... if we take the universe of ‘fitting,’ countless coats ‘fit’ backs, and countless boots ‘fit’ feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones ‘fit’ gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. In the same way countless opinions ‘fit’ realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
