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)
