Appearing

Famous quotes containing the word appearing:

    The man who invented Eskimo Pie made a million dollars, so one is told, but E.E. Cummings, whose verse has been appearing off and on for three years now, and whose experiments should not be more appalling to those interested in poetry than the experiment of surrounding ice-cream with a layer of chocolate was to those interested in soda fountains, has hardly made a dent in the doughy minds of our so-called poetry lovers.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Vanity is the fear of appearing original: it is thus a lack of pride, but not necessarily a lack of originality.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    It is bad enough that our geniuses cannot do anything useful, but it is worse that no man is fit for society who has fine traits. He is admired at a distance, but he cannot come near without appearing a cripple.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
