Famous quotes containing the words initiation and/or fold:
“The difficult and risky task of meeting and mastering the new—whether it be the settlement of new lands or the initiation of new ways of life—is not undertaken by the vanguard of society but by its rear. It is the misfits, failures, fugitives, outcasts and their like who are among the first to grapple with the new.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
