Part Named

Famous quotes containing the words part and/or named:

    What is part of you, you cannot get rid of, even if you were to throw it away.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly “forgot it” and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
