Passing Rate

Famous quotes containing the words passing and/or rate:

““Reason” causes us to falsify the testimony of the senses. To the extent that the senses show becoming, passing away, and change, they do not lie.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
