Famous quotes containing the words amount and/or borrowed:
“No amount of skill on the part of the actress can make up for the loss of youth.”
—Ellen Terry (1847–1928)
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
