Colby Echo

Famous quotes containing the words colby and/or echo:

    One learns little more about a man from the feats of his literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal.
    —Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)

    If I had not come to America, where I felt free to formulate tentatively insights at which I had empathically arrived, I would have accomplished very little. I would never have begun to publish, to teach, to undertake research. Because if one does not find an assenting echo to one’s ideas, if one is passed over, as I was in Vienna, then one cannot create. To create, after all, is to believe that what one says will count.
    Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
