Bennett

Famous quotes containing the word bennett:

    There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.
    —Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)

    Because her instinct has told her, or because she has been reliably informed, the faded virgin knows that the supreme joys are not for her; she knows by a process of the intellect; but she can feel her deprivation no more than the young mother can feel the hardship of the virgin’s lot.
    —Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)

    I want to hear the chanting
    Around a heathen fire
    Of a strange black race.
    —Gwendolyn B. Bennett (1902–1981)
