Famous quotes containing the word departments:

    “A man sees only what concerns him.... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
