Considered Bad

Famous quotes containing the words considered and/or bad:

    The merely political aspect of the land is never very cheering; men are degraded when considered as the members of a political organization.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There are certain things in which mediocrity is intolerable: poetry, music, painting, public eloquence. What torture it is to hear a frigid speech being pompously declaimed, or second-rate verse spoken with all a bad poet’s bombast!
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
