Famous quotes containing the words courtesy and/or title:

    “When a language creates—as it does—a community within the present, it does so only by courtesy of a community between the present and the past.”
    —Christopher Ricks (b. 1933)

    “He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind. He must unlearn much of that knowledge which has perhaps constituted hitherto his chief title to superiority. His very talents will be a hindrance to him.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
