Consistency Proof

Famous quotes containing the words consistency and/or proof:

“People who love only once in their lives are ... shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect—simply a confession of failures.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.”
