Famous quotes containing the word organs:

    It seems that nature, having taken such wise care to fit the organs of our body for our happiness and convenience, gave us also pride, to spare us the pain of knowing our own imperfections.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    Words are finite organs of the infinite mind. They cannot cover the dimensions of what is in truth. They break, chop, and impoverish it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
