Famous quotes containing the word degrees:
“So that the life of a writer, whatever he might fancy to the contrary, was not so much a state of composition, as a state of warfare; and his probation in it, precisely that of any other man militant upon earth,both depending alike, not half so much upon the degrees of his WITas his RESISTANCE.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
