Famous quotes containing the word apparent:
“To understand

Only on stars that are entirely there

Never need be lines between them, puzzling
Our sense of what is what.”
—John Hollander (b. 1929)
“The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time. A fever, a mutilation, a cruel disappointment, a loss of wealth, a loss of friends, seems at the moment unpaid loss, and unpayable. But the sure years reveal the deep remedial force that underlies all facts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Its apparent that we cant proceed any further without a name for this institutionalized garrulousness, this psychological patter, this need to catalogue the egos condition. Lets call it psychobabble, this spirit which now tyrannizes conversation in the seventies.”
—Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
