Difference

Famous quotes containing the word difference:

“Oh, I love Proust. We all learned from him how to go back in time. The difference is that Proust stayed in his room, and he observed himself. He was Proust lying in his bed looking at Proust at the window who was looking at Proust in bed. In our generation’s case, we are always in the middle. We are never on the outside. Whatever happens, happens to us.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)

“Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“The difference in the education of men and women must give the former great advantages over the latter, even where geniuses are equal.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
