Filled

Famous quotes containing the word filled:

“A beautiful vacuum filled with wealthy monogamists, all powerful and members of the best families all drinking themselves to death.”

A slice of window filled in
by a middle-distancing oblong
topped by little
moving figures.”

“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
