Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    Essential truth, the truth of the intellectualists, the truth with no one thinking it, is like the coat that fits tho no one has ever tried it on, like the music that no ear has listened to. It is less real, not more real, than the verified article; and to attribute a superior degree of glory to it seems little more than a piece of perverse abstraction-worship.
    William James (1842–1910)

    His bold head
    ‘Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oared
    Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke
    To the shore.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
