Cases

Famous quotes containing the word cases:

    In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it....

    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few.
