Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or russell:

    “Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    “There comes Poe, with his raven, like Barnaby Rudge,
    Three-fifths of him genius, and two-fifths sheer fudge.
    Who talks like a book of iambs and pentameters,
    In a way to make people of common sense damn metres,
    Who has written some things quite the best of their kind,
    But the heart somehow seems all squeezed out by the mind.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
