Famous quotes containing the words current and/or judges:
“Reputation runs behind the current state of affairs.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value—a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
