Healing Powers

Famous quotes containing the words healing and/or powers:

    War has always been the great wisdom of all those spirits who have grown too inward, too deep; its healing power lies even in the wound.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
