Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or people:

    Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Watt had watched people smile and thought he understood how it was done.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
