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)
“You can be much more alone with other people than you are by yourself. Even if it’s people you love.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
