Famous quotes containing the words double and/or universal:
“The worst feature of this double consciousness is, that the two lives, of the understanding and of the soul, which we lead, really show very little relation to each other; never meet and measure each other: one prevails now, all buzz and din; and the other prevails then, all infinitude and paradise; and, with the progress of life, the two discover no greater disposition to reconcile themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I believe theres no proverb but what is true; they are all so many sentences and maxims drawn from experience, the universal mother of sciences.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (15471616)
