Bit Weapon

Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or weapon:

“The world has always gone through periods of madness so as to advance a bit on the road to reason.”
—Hermann Broch (1886–1951)

“The aim of poetry, it appears, is to fill the mind with lofty thoughts—not to give it joy, but to give it a grand and somewhat gaudy sense of virtue. The essay is a weapon against the degenerate tendencies of the age. The novel, properly conceived, is a means of uplifting the spirit; its aim is to inspire, not merely to satisfy the low curiosity of man in man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
