Famous quotes containing the words private and/or express:

    A moody child and wildly wise
    Pursued the game with joyful eyes,
    Which chose, like meteors, their way,
    And rived the dark with private ray.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ... perhaps there exists only one intelligence from which the world sublets, one intelligence toward which each person, from the depths of his individual body, directs his gaze, as in the theater where, though each has a seat, however, there is only one stage.... But if it we all shared the same intelligence, [Bergotte] would, upon hearing me express [my ideas], remember them, love them, smile at them....
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
