Difference

Famous quotes containing the word difference:

    “I allude to these facts to show that, so far from the Supper being a tradition in which men are fully agreed, there has always been the widest room for difference of opinion upon this particular. Having recently given particular attention to this subject, I was led to the conclusion that Jesus did not intend to establish an institution for perpetual observance when he ate the Passover with his disciples; and further, to the opinion that it is not expedient to celebrate it as we do.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Only truthful hands write true poems. I cannot see any basic difference between a handshake and a poem.”
    —Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)

    “I find it a great and fatal difference whether I court the Muse, or the Muse courts me. That is the ugly disparity between age and youth.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
