Period

Famous quotes containing the word period:

“Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)

“There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

“Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.”
—Konstantin Stanislavsky (1863–1938)
