Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or persons:

    “What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won’t seem important at all.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “We admire Chaucer for his sturdy English wit.... But though it is full of good sense and humanity, it is not transcendent poetry. For picturesque description of persons it is, perhaps, without a parallel in English poetry; yet it is essentially humorous, as the loftiest genius never is.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
