Famous quotes containing the words essays, occasional and/or writings:

    “What are these essays but grotesque and monstrous bodies, pieced together of different members, without any definite shape, without any order, coherence, or proportion, except they be accidental?”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “It is part of the nature of consciousness, of how the mental apparatus works, that free reason is only a very occasional function of people’s “thinking” and that much of the process is made of reactions as standardized as those of the keys on a typewriter.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “For character, to prepare for the inevitable I recommend selections from [Ralph Waldo] Emerson. His writings have done for me far more than all other reading.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
