Bennett

Famous quotes containing the word bennett:

    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 feel the surging
    Of my sad people’s soul
    Hidden by a minstrel-smile.
    —Gwendolyn B. Bennett (1902–1981)

    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)
