Consists

Famous quotes containing the word consists:

“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“In my room, the world is beyond my understanding;
But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four hills and a cloud.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Tact in audacity consists in knowing how far we may go too far.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
