Famous quotes containing the word content:

    “Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “You can hardly convince a man of an error in a life-time, but must content yourself with the reflection that the progress of science is slow. If he is not convinced, his grandchildren may be. The geologists tell us that it took one hundred years to prove that fossils are organic, and one hundred and fifty more to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
