Famous quotes containing the word agree:
“‘Tis a strange thing, Sam, that among us people can’t agree the whole week, because they go different ways upon Sundays.”
—George Farquhar (1678–1707)
“We all agree now—by “we” I mean intelligent people under sixty—that a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. Unluckily, the matter does not end there: a rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.”
—Clive Bell (1881–1962)
““For your own good” is a persuasive argument that will eventually make a man agree to his own destruction.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
