Amount Considered Separately

Famous quotes containing the words amount, considered and/or separately:

“When a person expends the least amount of motion on one action, that is grace.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Lazarus was coolly received by his friends, who considered his case closed.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form. And it looks imposing in this general form largely because of the inveterate philosophical habit of treating the shadows cast by words and sentences as if they were separately identifiable. Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”
—David Pears (b. 1921)
