Famous quotes containing the word judges:
“Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value—a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
