Famous quotes containing the word significance:

    “For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.”
    —Joyce Maynard (20th century)

    “Of what significance the light of day, if it is not the reflection of an inward dawn?—to what purpose is the veil of night withdrawn, if the morning reveals nothing to the soul? It is merely garish and glaring.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.”
    —Marlon Brando (b. 1924)
