Friedrich Merit Order

Famous quotes containing the words merit and/or order:

    “Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
    Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
    Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
    All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
    All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
    Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
    —Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    “Art and religion first; then philosophy; lastly science. That is the order of the great subjects of life, that’s their order of importance.”
    —Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
