Famous quotes containing the words core and/or principles:

    Avoiding humiliation is the core of tragedy and comedy.
    John Guare (b. 1938)

    [The sceptic] must acknowledge, if he will acknowledge any thing, that all human life must perish, were his principles to prevail. All discourse, all action would immediately cease, and men remain in a total lethargy, till the necessities of nature, unsatisfied, put an end to their miserable existence.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
