Famous quotes containing the words list, verified, oldest, living and/or man:

    “I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.”
    —Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    “In the course of a life devoted less to living than to reading, I have verified many times that literary intentions and theories are nothing more than stimuli and that the final work usually ignores or even contradicts them.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “The devil possesses the broadest perspectives for God, and consequently he stays so far away from him:Mthe devil being the oldest friend of knowledge.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The land of shadows wilt thou trace
    And look nor know each other’s face
    The present mixed with reasons gone
    And past and present all as one
    Say maiden can thy life be led
    To join the living with the dead
    Then trace thy footsteps on with me
    We’re wed to one eternity”
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    “Argument is conclusive ... but ... it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment.... For if any man who never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire burns ... his hearer’s mind would never be satisfied, nor would he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it ... that he might learn by experiment what argument taught.”
    —Roger Bacon (c. 1214–1294)
