Famous quotes containing the word content:

    “Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Yet the New Testament treats of man and man’s so-called spiritual affairs too exclusively, and is too constantly moral and personal, to alone content me, who am not interested solely in man’s religious or moral nature, or in man even.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
