Famous quotes containing the words absent and/or minded:
“For my own part, I would rather be in company with a dead man than with an absent one; for if the dead man gives me no pleasure, at least he shows me no contempt; whereas the absent one, silently indeed, but very plainly, tells me that he does not think me worth his attention.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I don’t think we can ignore the Modern Movement. But I wouldn’t have minded at all if it hadn’t happened. I think the world would be a much nicer place.”
