Italics Added

Famous quotes containing the words italics and/or added:

“We are as much informed of a writer’s genius by what he selects as by what he originates. We read the quotation with his eyes, and find a new and fervent sense; as a passage from one of the poets, well recited, borrows new interest from the rendering. As the journals say, “the italics are ours.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“To be ‘conscious’ means not simply to be, but to be reported, known, to have awareness of one’s being added to that being.”
—William James (1842–1910)
