Famous quotes containing the word equally:
“Man could not live if he were entirely impervious to sadness. Many sorrows can be endured only by being embraced, and the pleasure taken in them naturally has a somewhat melancholy character. So, melancholy is morbid only when it occupies too much place in life; but it is equally morbid for it to be wholly excluded from life.”
—Emile Durkheim (18581917)
“No master spirit, no determined road;
But equally a want of books and men!”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“Hence it will not do for the Landlord to possess too fine a nature.... He must have no idiosyncracies, no particular bents or tendencies to this or that, but a general, uniform, and healthy development, such as his portly person indicates, offering himself equally on all sides to men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
