Awful Answers

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or answers:

    Religion is by no means a proper subject of conversation in mixed company; it should only be treated among a very few people of learning, for mutual instruction. It is too awful and respectable a subject to become a familiar one.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    History is, strictly speaking, the study of questions; the study of answers belongs to anthropology and sociology.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
