Noticed

Famous quotes containing the word noticed:

    “The wonder is I didn’t see at once.
    I never noticed it from here before.
    I must be wonted to it that’s the reason.
    The little graveyard where my people are!...”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    It is remarkable, but on the whole, perhaps, not to be lamented, that the world is so unkind to a new book. Any distinguished traveler who comes to our shores is likely to get more dinners and speeches of welcome than he can well dispose of, but the best books, if noticed at all, meet with coldness and suspicion, or, what is worse, gratuitous, off-hand criticism.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If there is one thing that is really cheerful in the world, it is cheerfulness. I have noticed it often. And I have noticed that when a man is right down cheerful, he is seldom unhappy for the time being. Such is the nature of man.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
