Famous quotes containing the word contents:
“To be, contents his natural desire;
He asks no Angels wing, no Seraphs fire;
But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
His faithful dog shall bear him company.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
“Conversation ... is like the table of contents of a dull book.... All the greatest subjects of human thought are proudly displayed in it. Listen to it for three minutes, and you ask yourself which is more striking, the emphasis of the speaker or his shocking ignorance.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (17831842)
“Yet to speak of the whole world as metaphor
Is still to stick to the contents of the mind
And the desire to believe in a metaphor.
It is to stick to the nicer knowledge of
Belief, that what it believes in is not true.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
