Famous quotes containing the words count and/or von:
“The true reformer does not want time, nor money, nor coöperation, nor advice. What is time but the stuff delay is made of? And depend upon it, our virtue will not live on the interest of our money. He expects no income, but outgoes; so soon as we begin to count the cost, the cost begins. And as for advice, the information floating in the atmosphere of society is as evanescent and unserviceable to him as gossamer for clubs of Hercules.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We cannot remain long in a conscious state or in consciousness, we must take refuge again in the unconscious since there are our roots.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
