Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or heralds:
“When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is of advantage that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man.... For the chief malady of man is restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Today, music heralds ... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.”
—Jacques Attali (b. 1943)
