Famous quotes containing the words fragments and/or survived:
“I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things, so that all our thoughts shall be tinged with triviality. Our very intellect shall be macadamized, as it were,—its foundation broken into fragments for the wheels of travel to roll over.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The truth is that our race survived ignorance; it is our scientific genius that will do us in.”
