Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or people:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “There are no small number of people in this world who, solitary by nature,
    always try to go back into their shell like a hermit crab or a snail.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
