Famous quotes containing the word senseless:

“If I had any doubts at all about the justice of my dislike for Shakespeare, that doubt vanished completely. What a crude, immoral, vulgar, and senseless work Hamlet is.

—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

“He is senseless who would match himself against a stronger man; for he is deprived of victory and adds suffering to disgrace.”
