Essentially

Famous quotes containing the word essentially:

    As far as the filmmaking process is concerned, stars are essentially worthless—and absolutely essential.
    William Goldman (b. 1931)

    We admire Chaucer for his sturdy English wit.... But though it is full of good sense and humanity, it is not transcendent poetry. For picturesque description of persons it is, perhaps, without a parallel in English poetry; yet it is essentially humorous, as the loftiest genius never is.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
