Famous quotes containing the word crude:

“There has been something crude and heartless and unfeeling in our haste to succeed and be great.

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

“A crude mind could easily think: something is valid, therefore it is true.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

“A refined soul is distressed to know that someone owes it thanks; a crude soul, to know that it owes someone thanks.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
