Degree Heart Block

Famous quotes containing the words degree, heart and/or block:

    In the mass of mankind, I fear, there is too great a majority of fools and knaves; who, singly from their number, must to a certain degree be respected, though they are by no means respectable.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Lovers, the conclusion is
    Doubled sighs and jealousies
    In a single heart that grieves
    For lost honour among thieves.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one’s future must be hewn.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
