Famous quotes containing the words hidden and/or problem:

    Art for art’s sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden ... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Any solution to a problem changes the problem.
    —R.W. (Richard William)
