Extremely Rare

Famous quotes containing the words extremely rare, extremely and/or rare:

    A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.
    Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)

    And so with that most rare conception, nothing.
    What is it, after all, but something missed?
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
