Famous quotes containing the words notable, people, affected, relaxed, term and/or limits:

    “a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    “Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
    —Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)

    “Abba, dark death is the breaking of a glass.
    The dazzled flakes and splinters disappear.
    The seal is as relaxed as dirt, perdu.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Orlando. Who stays it still withal?
    Rosalind. With lawyers in the vacation; for they sleep
    between term and term, and then they perceive not how Time
    moves.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Yet shall he mount, and keep his distant way
    Beyond the limits of a vulgar fate:
    Beneath the Good how far—but far above the Great.”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
