Famous quotes containing the word movements:

    “He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
    And when you think he’s half asleep, he’s always wide awake.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good. Emotions arise in the appetite and are brought into conformity with reason; virtues are effects of reason achieving themselves in reasonable movements of the appetites. Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.”
    —Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

    “In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.”
    —Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
