Eria Capacity Building

Famous quotes containing the words capacity and/or building:

    The first half of it consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition. The building of the lofty rhyme is like any other masonry or bricklaying: we have theories of its rise, height, decline and fall—which latter, it would seem, is now near, among all people.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
