Famous quotes containing the word agree:
“We all agree nowby we I mean intelligent people under sixtythat 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 (18811962)
“That which occasions so many mistakes in the computations of men, when they expect return for favors, is that the givers pride and the receivers cannot agree upon the value of the kindness done.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (16131680)
“Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
