Famous quotes containing the word secondary:

    “A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.”
    —Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)

    “Scientific reason, with its strict conscience, its lack of prejudice, and its determination to question every result again the moment it might lead to the least intellectual advantage, does in an area of secondary interest what we ought to be doing with the basic questions of life.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)
