Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:

    “We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
    —Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
