Famous quotes containing the words file, services and/or possibility:
“I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled “Science Fiction” ... and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“... the genius never makes anything new, but always something that is just different, and the average talents provide him the possibility within which his genius condenses into achievements.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
