Famous quotes containing the word content:

    “A person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it. They seek the excitement because they are capable of the growth that it accompanies.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “I am as content to die for God’s eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.”
    —John Brown (1800–1859)

    “I could be content that we might procreate like trees, without conjunction, or that there were any way to perpetuate the world without this trivial and vulgar way of coition.”
    —Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
