Acute Phase

Famous quotes containing the words acute and/or phase:

    One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
