Famous quotes containing the word experience:
“Most maxim-mongers have preferred the prettiness to the justness of a thought, and the turn to the truth; but I have refused myself to everything that my own experience did not justify and confirm.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past—whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
