Average Age

Famous quotes containing the words average and/or age:

    You preferred it to the usual thing:
    One dull man, dulling and uxorious,
    One average mind—with one thought less, each year.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Shakespeare, with an improved education and in a more enlightened age, might easily have attained the purity and correction of Racine; but nothing leads one to suppose that Racine in a barbarous age would have attained the grandeur, force and nature of Shakespeare.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
