Famous quotes containing the words open, source and/or competition:

    “To become wise you have to want to experience certain experiences, and so to run into their open jaws. This is very dangerous, to be sure; many a “wise man” has been eaten up in doing so.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
    —Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
