Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:

    “Human affairs are so obscure and various that nothing can be clearly known. This was the sound conclusion of the Academic sceptics, who were the least surly of philosophers.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (1469–1536)

    “I’ve heard the wolves scuffle, and said: So this
    Is man; so what better conclusion is there
    The day will not follow night, and the heart
    Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
    Than a wolf’s....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “So this
