Famous quotes containing the word dangerous:
“A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds, the corn become a black smut, and all libraries, of necessity, be burned to the ground as a consequence. Only one answer: write carelessly so that nothing that is not green will survive.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“The most successful tempters and thus the most dangerous are the deluded deluders.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
