Applicable Amount

Famous quotes containing the words applicable and/or amount:

“I am afraid I am one of those people who continues to read in the hope of sometime discovering in a book a single—and singular—piece of wisdom so penetrating, so soul stirring, so utterly applicable to my own life as to make all the bad books I have read seem well worth the countless hours spent on them. My guess is that this wisdom, if it ever arrives, will do so in the form of a generalization.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

“Excess of joy is harder to bear than any amount of sorrow.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
