Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or note:
“God should not be called an individual substance, since the principal of individuation is matter.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
