Famous quotes containing the word brought:
“Very few of our race can be said to be yet finished men. We still carry sticking to us some remains of the preceding inferior quadruped organization. We call these millions men; but they are not yet men. Half-engaged in the soil, pawing to get free, man needs all the music that can be brought to disengage him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But what it was, alas, I cannot tell,
Because of it I had no perfect view;
But as it was, by guess, I wish it well
And will until I see the same anew.
Shadow, or she, or both, or choose you whither:
Blest be the thing that brought the shadow hither.”
—Unknown. I Heard a Noise and Wishèd for a Sight (l. 13–18)
“My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
