Famous quotes containing the word point:
“From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe a mans actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“...there is a difference between being convinced and being stubborn. Im not certain what the difference is, but I do know that if you butt your head against a stone wall long enough, at some point you realize the wall is stone and that your head is flesh and blood.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“The point is children lie to others for good and sufficient reasons, but they dont kid themselves. They know who did what, but they feel no moral imperative to inform grownups.”
