Applicable Amount

Famous quotes containing the words applicable and/or amount:

    I am afraid I am one of those people who continues to read in the hope of sometime discovering in a book a single—and singular—piece of wisdom so penetrating, so soul stirring, so utterly applicable to my own life as to make all the bad books I have read seem well worth the countless hours spent on them. My guess is that this wisdom, if it ever arrives, will do so in the form of a generalization.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

    No amount of charters, direct primaries, or short ballots will make a democracy out of an illiterate people.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
