Difference

Famous quotes containing the word difference:

    The difference between tragedy and comedy is the difference between experience and intuition. In the experience we strive against every condition of our animal life: against death, against the frustration of ambition, against the instability of human love. In the intuition we trust the arduous eccentricities we’re born to, and see the oddness of a creature who has never got acclimatized to being created.
    Christopher Fry (b. 1907)

    A difference of tastes in jokes is a great strain on the affections.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    There is a difference between eating and drinking for strength and from mere gluttony.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
