Famous quotes containing the word content:

    “A person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it. They seek the excitement because they are capable of the growth that it accompanies.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “A rake is a composition of all the lowest, most ignoble, degrading, and shameful vices; they all conspire to disgrace his character, and to ruin his fortune; while wine and the pox content which shall soonest and most effectually destroy his constitution.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
