Famous quotes containing the words determined and/or basket:

    “I find myself both as man and as myself something more determined and distinctive, at pitch, more distinctive and higher pitched than anything else I see.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “All schools, all colleges, have two great functions; to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
