Forced Depth

Famous quotes containing the words forced and/or depth:

“Strange to know nothing, never to be sure
Of what is true or right or real,
But forced to qualify or so I feel....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“To whatsoever upright mind, to whatsoever beating heart I speak, to you it is committed to educate men. By simple living, by an illimitable soul, you inspire, you correct, you instruct, you raise, you embellish all. By your own act you teach the beholder how to do the practicable. According to the depth from which you draw your life, such is the depth not only of your strenuous effort, but of your manners and presence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
