Zebra Case

Famous quotes containing the words zebra and/or case:

    Apeneck Sweeney spreads his knees
    Letting his arms hang down to laugh,
    The zebra strips along his jaw
    Swelling to maculate giraffe.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
