Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or forms:
“Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as spectacles to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions.... The learned are mere literary drudges.”
—William Hazlitt (17781830)
“Your body must become familiar with its deathin all its possible forms and degreesas a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.”
—Dag Hammarskjöld (19051961)
