Famous quotes containing the word satisfies:
“Art can never match the luxury and superfluity of Nature. In the former all is seen; it cannot afford concealed wealth, and is niggardly in comparison; but Nature, even when she is scant and thin outwardly, satisfies us still by the assurance of a certain generosity at the roots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Drill and uniforms impose an architecture on the crowd. An armys beautiful. But thats not all; it panders to lower instincts than the aesthetic. The spectacle of human beings reduced to automatism satisfies the lust for power. Looking at mechanized slaves, one fancies oneself a master.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“A mob cannot be a permanency: everybodys interest requires that it should not exist, and only justice satisfies all.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
